Dear friends,
When I did a computer scan, My free version of AVG antivirus detected 6 trojan files...and showed me the message that they are successfully delected and transported to Virus Vault. Now those 6 infected files are there in the virus vault. Is there any danger in keeping them there? Or is there any thing left for me to do? I am new to AVG and trojans.

AVG removes any and all "Viruses" that is can through "Healing". It put Viruses that it can't heal into the Virus Vault. If you wish you can delete those viruses by go to AVG's virus vault and deleting them. To do this just go to My Compute/"C"/Program Files/Grisoft/AVG/virus vault. Or you can just leave them where they are. Once a file is in the vault it can't activate/execute.
Be sure to keep AVG updated, it's a very good anti virus program.

It will stay in the virus vault (quarintined) and should not pose any danger.
Dont move or play around with the files in virus vault.

No worry my friend,the virus vault is an isolated "room" that keeps viruses enclosed with no option to escape!

No --- you are ok ---.
When a virus is in the "virus vault" --- it is blocked ,rendered harmless to do any harm to your computer.
Think of it as being locked up in jail --- behind bars.
Will not hurt anything to leave it , but I always "kill" them off by marking them and deleting.
