An antivirus would only delete personal files if they were infected with a virus.... One way to check is to copy all data to an external Hard drive then on your computer right click the HD (once everything has been copied) and you can run your antivirus on just the hard drive and it will see if those files are infected. If not hen your good to go and now have a second copy of the data for backup purposes if they need it
