I'm not too familiar with Avast, but I'm guessing your options are like any other virus scan. Move to chest should basically mean that the program will quarantine the virus, removing it from the location and making your computer "clean". Delete would do just that - delete the virus from the computer. I always quarantine my viruses first, just to make sure I'm not screwing with an important file, so you'll probably want to "move to chest".

Also, for added information, check the programs "Help" file. It should give you a more in depth explaination of everything.
