We need more information on the files before we can answer.

Such as name of file, name of the virus infecting the file, where it was before you put it into the chest (i.e. file location). you OS could be useful aswell

Right click a file in the chest and choose properties, it will tell you what we want to know, or look in Avast's log file.

- Name of the infected file
- Original location
- Infection name

Sometime, don't worry. Most probably you just saw the system files backup stored there. There are view options on the buttoms at left of that window. You must select only the 'infected files' to see if anything is wrong...  ;)
