To check out a file that has been quarantined by Avast we are advised to set up a folder named ‘Suspect’ and extract a copy of the file from the quarantined section into that folder and then send said file to Virus total to be scanned.
If it is confirmed that the file in question is not one you want on your PC what then do you do with the copy placed in the Suspect folder. Is it OK to just delete it?
Sorry if this is a dumb question I just don’t want to make a mistake and perhaps let something loose on my PC which I shouldn’t.
there is also no rush to delete anything from quarantine, so you may let the files stay there fore a couple of weeks before you delete…just to be sure all is OK
