The files are deleted. No they are not emptied into c: to cause a problem.

I would see what they are called...then look up the names on Goggle. Not everything is a virus.

Anti virus programs search for given strings in a file. A string that changes an exe file can be seen as a potential virus when in fact it is
not.

When you empty the vault the files are deleted.
