I am scanning my computer useing Advanced System Care Deep Scan and i noticed that when it is going through the scanning process the name: Trojan Win 32 and some other Trojan Agent comes up although nothing comes up after the scan is this something i should get sorted?
The solving of a problem lies in finding the solvers.

You'd need to give the full path/filename & exact detection name for better advice.
EG: C:\Directory\folder\sub-folder\filename.exe -> win32.trojan.agent
They could be false positives or harmless traces of old infections if your not having specific problems.
You could always upload detected files to VirusTotal and see what other scanners make of them.
Personaly I dont think ASC is very good. I wouldn't trust them with the security of my own PC.
