Yes.

the files is still in the folder even if in the chest also.
When you add a file to chest, the original is kept in the same place. You need to manually delete or remove it.
The file is removed if avast moves the file to chest.

I think that it is quite rude to not post in English in an English forum!

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware nor SUPERAntiSpyware check for HOSTS file modifications that some malware likes to modify but Windows Defender will notify you immediately if it has been altered.

Vladimyr, I have Windows Defender on all of my systems and they do not cause any problem so what do you notice on your XP systems?

Just 'MsMpEng.exe' sporadically grabbing large hunks of CPU time.

On my real old XP Home system that has 2.4MHZ P4 and 512MB RAM I have not noticed 'MsMpEng.exe' sporadically grabbing large hunks of CPU time but next time I fire it up I'll watch it with System Explorer.

I fired up the old XP Home system and watched System Explorer Performance window and 'MsMpEng.exe' used a bit of system resources to initialize but it has been quite ever since.

RAM usage is at 79% with IE8 with 5 tabs open.

Are you using the latest Windows Defender Antispyware: v1.57.85.0 available through its portal?

I update it at least daily as it is updated at least as often as avast! definitions and sometimes more
