13. Virus Vault
Virus Vault is a safe environment for the management of suspect/infected objects detected during AVG tests.
Once an infected object is detected during scanning, and AVG is not able to heal it automatically, you are
asked to decide what is to be done with the suspect object. The recommended solution is to move the object
to the Virus Vault for further treatment. The main purpose of the Virus Vault is to keep any deleted file for a
certain period of time, so that you can make sure you do not need the file any more in its original location.
Should you find out that the file absence causes problems, you can send the file in question to analysis, or
restore it to the original location.
The Virus vault interface opens in a separate window and offers an overview of the information on quarantined
infected objects:
Date Added - Provides date and time the suspected file was detected and removed to the Virus
Vault.
Threat - In case you decided to install the Identity component within your AVG Internet Security
2014, a graphical identification of the finding severity will be provided in this section: from
unobjectionable (three green dots) up to very dangerous (three red dots). Also you will find information
on the infection type and its original location. The More info link takes you to a page providing
detailed information on the detected threat within the online virus encyclopedia.
Source - Specifies which component of AVG Internet Security 2014 has detected the respective
threat.
Notifications - In a very rare situation, some notes may occur in this column providing detailed
comments on the respective detected threat.
