I already safely deleted some .exe trojans from AVG Virus Vault, but i'm wondering if its safe to delete some .DLL trojan horses from the Healed Virus Vault ?
allegedly they are healed, but i wonder if its safe to delete those DLL trojans from the avg virus vault?|||The reason your PC is working even though some .exe and dll are in the vault is, windows keeps a secret store about 300 Mb of its important files. if one is deleted or damaged or put in the vault Windows just gets itself a good copy from there.
so it is safe to empty the vault if you want to.
.EXE files are the actual main program files, exe is short for executable, execute means carry out an action
.DLL files are program extensions, dll means dynamic link library... these are small program sections the .exe can call in to use when it needs them (linking to them on the run) then they get shut down and replaced with another one.
This is why you might get DLL missing or DLL corrupt errors, if the EXE can't find the DLL it wants. Less likely to get EXE errors because there is no program running to complain to you. Both types are equally important, which is why WIndows keeps spares of them.|||Generally anything in the virus vault can be removed. Empptying the vault is normally perfectly safe.|||If they're in the virus vault, they can't be doing anything anyway, and if your computer is working without them now, there can't be much harm in deleting them. However, leaving them there will be perfectly safe as well.
