System files in Virus chest

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

Avast 4.8 Home Edition
Win XP SP3

Installed Avast recently, took me a while to find the virus chest. Why are 3 of my system files in there, dated 11/14?
kernel32.dll, winsock.dll wsock32.dll? I haven’t had any viruses since installing Avast several months ago. Is this related to the false positivess I’ve been getting on some programs?

No, they are not related with the false positive issue. You can see that even form the date. They are not virus, either and you can ignore them.

I really do wish Alwil would get rid of this All Chest Files collation of the three sections:

  • The only area you should be interested in is the Infected Files section, this is where the files detected by avast and selected by you to move to the chest are placed.- The User Files section is where the user can add files they suspect of being malware but not detected by avast.- The System Files section is where avast keeps back-up copies of important system files in case the original becomes infected (leave them alone).- The All Chest Files is a collation of the three sections.
