I have the free AVG 8.0 Anti-Virus. When I want to delete a threat in the Virus vault do I press delete or empty vault? Are they the same thing?

When viewing warnings: what is the difference between remove selected infections and remove all unhealed infections?! Aren't they the same thing also?

Please let me know! So confusing!

Thanks

Healing the file means AVG will try to clean the virus and to keep the overall wholeness of the file. This is essential for viruses that have attached themselves to a windows or a program file that you may need down the road.

So, remove all unhealed infections this will put them in the AVG Vault and they should be removed later after you are sure you have not removed a necessary program file that you may to need down the road. I empty my after month of usage of my computer to be on the safe side..

As brett888 mention if you need this file you can go back to the vault to restore it.
