northernguy,

The choice to Delete, Repair, or Move is provided so that the user can pick whichever course of action suits them.

I agree with you that if a file is identified as a virus, deleting is the safest course of action. However, the Move option allows a user to safetly isolate the “file” until it can be determined if the “infection” warrants deletionl. On the other hand, some files can be “repaired” by Avast which causes the least bit of trouble and the best course of action overall.

Remember that even though Avast is the best AV as far as I am concerned, you must aire on the side of caution until a “virus infected file” can be determined to be just that and not a false positive.

Good luck and thanks for joining the forum,
