Some files could not be scanned

Viruses and worms

I was careless and just randomly clicked a link. I decided to scan my computer and got this message for the first time ever. “Some files could not be scanned. Error archive i password protected”

I attach a screenshot of the files that could not be scanned. Is this something i need to take care off and if not why did this happen this time and not all the other times ive scanned the pc?
