Some antivirus programs have a folder which may be named something like "virus vault", "virus chest", "quarantine", etc. These folders are special folders that the program sets so files inside them cannot run or access other files. The point behind these folders is that by moving viruses and other malicious files into them, they can't run and can't harm your system. Usually, it's a good idea to delete the files in this folder using your antivirus if they can't be disinfected.

What do you do with the viruses trapped in your avg vault?

The purpose of the vault is to quarantine files that have been infected. In most cases, these are new files created by the virus or the actual virus itself, but certain viruses infect files that may be important to you. The vault allows you to quarantine the files so that they can be healed when a solution is found or submitted for analysis. In most cases you can simply delete vault files.
