Unfortunately you have left off the most important information, the file name, the location and do you actually know these files/programs (e.g. been on your system for some time) and what scan it was that you did ?

The regular on-demand scans Quick and Full System Scans don’t scan for PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) by default, you have to have elected to scan for them ?

My guess on the reason they aren’t scanned for by default is exactly because of what you did here, deleted the file as you feel it is a threat when it might not be. The greatest majority of files scanned in on-demand scans are inert or dormant, so don’t present an immediate risk.

The resident scanner (File System Shield) can scan for PUPs (change Expert Settings) if you feel you want to know if one of these is actually run.
