Mr.Agent, files into Chest are safe to be kept there. Can't harm your computer.
Also, to legit files, you can use the avast exclusion lists (there are two).

Not the database, but exclusion lists IF THE FILE IS CLEAN.
You need to use the Exclusion lists:

For the Standard Shield provider (on-access scanning):
Left click the 'a' blue icon, click on the provider icon at left and then Customize.
Go to Advanced tab and click on Add button...

For the other providers (on-demand scanning such as the screen-saver or the Simple User Interface):
Right click the 'a' blue icon, click Program Settings.
Go to Exclusions tab and click on Add button...

You can use wildcards like * and ?.
But be careful, you should 'exclude' that many files that let your system in danger.
