Can't delete two files from virus chest.
Most deleted, these two pictured refuse to go.
They are no longer on the computer,
and the second one is preventing me from reinstalling a legitimate program.

IDP.Generic blocks are related to Behavior Shield detections.
You can disable Behavior Shield temporarily. OR
You can uninstall reboot then re-install Avast after using avast uninstall utility
https://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility
Removing avast will also remove any files in the virus chest.
Update to the latest avast version here:

What version of avast are you currently running?
