I was running Ad-Aware as I do every day and then Avast Antivirus tells me it has detected a virus called VBS:Malware [Gen]. It's recomendation was to put it in the chest so I did, then I started running Ad-Aware again and the same thing keeps happening.

What should I do, Please help??

The "chest" is just a quarantine. Good antiviruses should really encrypt the viruses so they don't get out. Apparently Avast didn't.

Ad-Aware is detecting it in its "quarantine" folder. Don't put it in the chest. Just delete it instead if you're sure it's nothing you need. If it's a .vbs file, it's probably nothing you want on your PC.
