Avast adds to Chest, should I delete it?

Avast found 3 copies of Win32:Frauder-B [Trj] and I chose, as recommended by Avast, to add them to the Chest.

I turned OFF System Restore and am now running Avast scan again. Should I delete the 3 files (keyloggers I believe) or simply leave them in the Chest?

Thanks

They are safe in the Chest but I always delete them. The decision is yours but they are safe tucked away.

Unless your presses for space leaving them in the Chest will cause no problems.

Like jadinolf I also delete them.

Okay - they've been in the Chest and I've done a 2nd scan and nothing was found. I've turned Sys Restore back ON.

So, now I'll delete the 3 files.

Not much info on the Web about the files though: Win32:Frauder-B [Trj] (.exe files ) but as things run fine w/o them, out they go!

Thanks
