To clarify a point:

If and when Avast detects a threat, the first step is to check the forum but would detection alone put a file in the Virus Vault or would a file only be placed in the Virus Vault after a full scan was run?

Detection put’s the file into the chest where it can’t harm the system. Doing a full scan when there is a problem such as the VBS problem, would cause many files to be put into the chest more files than the chest could hold and that’s also what cased some people to loose files.
