The 3rd one seems to be known to MALWAREBYTES
So download that
http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html
UPDATE and FULL SCAN
(Perfectly safe to use with existing anti virus software)
Post the log here after its scanned

can you send the LOCATION links please?
eg ~ C:/windows/system32/drivers etc

They look dodgy to me anyways (no need to delete them anyways, theyre safely 'locked' in the vault)

C:\Users\name\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\6.0\25\2365d359-48c752e6

C:\Users\name\Documents\Photos\Programs\BitLord_1.1. exe

C:\Users\name\Documents\D L Ps\FU-Setup_LE. exe

Pretty sure all 3 are 'nasty'
Just keep them in the virus vault for now though (And make sure you run MALWAREBYTES as a secondary check)

I find it slightly baffling as to why you so vehemently defend AVG
Its consistantly behind both AVAST and AVIRA in all the tests ive seen. I used to use it myself but on at least 2 occasions I had to uninstall and reinstall just to get it to update
Theres at least 3 times this year its detected an actual genuine operating system file as a virus (And made a REAL mess of some peoples computers)
THIS VERY SITE is RIDDLED with people having problems with AVG
I dont recall a SINGLE Avira problem
It DOES slow certain computers down (What the exact conditions are im unsure of)
Avira is faster without question
AVG takes all night to scan my drive when Avira (with BETTER detection rates) takes a couple of hours
I could probably go on and on..........

Let's have a look at the numbers...

As per http://wiki.castlecops.com/AntiVirus_Comparison

All external studies referenced here, unanimously rank the on demand scanners in this order:

1. AntiVir
2. Avast
3. AVG

Espresso - You'll note the above references 4 external independant testers.

http://www.av-comparatives.org/ goes on to show

Comparitives -> "On-demand comparative August 2008 Online results",

shows the following detection rates:

Avira 99.6
Avast 98.7
AVG 97.3

This of course means nothing without considering the false positive rates which come in at...

Avira 17
AVG 21
AVast 47

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,2135092,00.asp goes on to show the following detection rates:

Avira 99.42%
Avast 96.32%
AVG 96.15%

I could go on...

Suprised at AVASTS false positive numbers there!
