Threat: Rootkit Hidden File
«

Hello,
Fairly recently I ran a full system scan, and found thousands of infected files. I attempt to remove them, but I usually get "Access is denied". What can I do? Here are screenshots of the report.

No major updates recently, though looking through the logs there was a Windows Defender update on 12/17/13, the date of this scan. Do these not look to be rootkits?
Edit: I did add a screenshot of the full file path which I left out the first time.

if you want a check.....
follow the guide and attach the logs from Malwarebytes / OTL / aswMBR

Thanks again, It is currently midnight here, so I will update tomorrow once I have the log and full scan completed.

@Brick
As I can tell from posted SS, avast has been report only files which can not access for some reason.
This does not mean that these files are malicious. However, when you psot OTL and aswMBR log, I should be able to tell you more...
