Avast antivirus deleted not only viruses but also your very important personal files. We provide two effective solutions for you to recover deleted files by Avast antivirus software.
Solution 1: Restore Deleted Files from Avast Virus Chest
Avast Virus Chest is basically a place where Avast stores (potentially) dangerous files. Since the file is moved to Virus Chest it can’t do any harm to your computer. Also, it can’t be executed. If you want to recover files from Avast Virus Chest, follow the steps below:
- Step 1: Right-click on the Avast orange icon in the Windows system tray and open Avast UI
- Step 2: Go to "Protection" > "Virus Chest"
- Step 3: Select the wanted files and click "Restore"
Solution 2: Run Third-party Data Recovery Software to Recover Avast Deleted Files
Most people complain that the chance of deleted files recovery is small from the Avast virus chest. So, we give users the other choice - third-party data recovery software, which is simpler to handle but with a higher chance of successful recovery.
What we recommend here is EaseUS file recovery software. It's a renowned deleted, formatted, and virus-infected hard drive data recovery software which has helped millions of customers worldwide restore documents, pictures, photos, videos, music, emails and more file types with ease.
Files that are unexpectedly removed by antivirus program like Avast can be fully restored by it.
