The warning “File is in windows folder, are you sure?” is a general one and not all things in the windows folders are actually windows or system files. It is quite a common tactic of some malware to place their malware in windows folders to put that doubt in the users mind to start with.
It is safe to hit the exit/esc on the scan as that just stops the scan if you haven’t taken any action then these files would be in the same locations. As I have said in my previous post, there would be no downside really in removing both these files.
However, what I’m also trying to do is get you thinking in the right way, never delete anything until you have investigated (as you are) and are sure it will do no harm.
