When AVG finds a high risk object it wants to quarantine it instead of delete. Why would it not want to delete it? What are the benefits of quarantine than deleting?
I'm just trying to understand anti-virus software better.

Hi good question.
Quarantine is a safer first step as said virus can no longer cause any harm to ones system,
but you may on the odd occasion need to restore said file.
Avg as with other Virus programs may pick up what's called a false positive.
That is to wrongly identify a Virus when there isn't one.

OK thanks for the information.
