Edit: So sorry! I wasn't thinking. Try this:
local w = workspace:GetDescendants()
for i = 1, #w do
for j = 1, #VirusChest do
if w[i].Name == VirusChest[j] then -- here was the problem (my problem and your problem)
w[i].Parent = newFolder3
I wish there was a more efficient way to do it but sadly I cannot think of one.
Original: You are checking if anything in the workspace has a name that is equal to the number of things in your virus chest. You want to check if the name is equal to the current iteration.
local w = workspace:GetDescendants()
for i = 1, #VirusChest do
if w[i].Name == VirusChest[i] then -- here was the problem
w[i].Parent = newFolder3

Sorry to put u down, but if u read the whole thing I said i already tried something similar to this. I understand where the problem is. but replacing my code with that and making sure there's no silly errors, i get attempt to index nil with 'Name' RobloxGameingStudios 145 — 5y

I want to warn you that it is *very slow*. It is iterating (#VirusChest * #w) times. Stick a wait somewhere so studio doesn't crash compUcomp 417 — 5y
