AVG free 8.0 virus vault

I had a virus, & I moved it to the virus vault. It has an empty virus vault feature & a delete virus feature. I hadn't quite figured out what to do (which is highlite the virus name before you can delete it), only I didn't know this at the time, so I clicked empty virus vault. Did I release the virus back into my computer ? When I scanned again it showed no infections.

Hello and welcome to TSF.

No, you didn't. "Empty virus vault" feature would delete everything inside the Virus vault, whereas "Delete" feature can be used for individual entries in the vault -very similar to the Recycle Bin.
