Hi all!

I'd like to install a new antivirus but the system needs to uninstall my old
antivirus software to install the new one.

What will happen to viruses in the virus vault if I uninstall my old
antivirus? Is it advisable to delete these viruses?

Please give some advice. Thanks!
 
Many anti virus applications give you the option of deleting the virus vault
when you uninstall the application. If you delete the virus vault then the
virus is deleted too. It is rather pointless keeping the virus vault
because, unless you are using a newer version of the same anti virus,
another manufacturers anti virus application will not use the vault; it has
it's own vault to install.
