welcome to the forum.

well you have put them in the virus chest there they can not do any harm to your computer. Leave them there for a few week an then rescan them  if they still comes up as viruses delete them.

to be sure your compurter is malware free you could scan with malwarebytes antimalware and/or superantispyware

don't forget to update before you scan, good luck.

"Antivirus 2010" is not the default - it's a fake antivirus scanner, and should be removed as quickly as possible. Those "threats" are the fake AV's way of trying to get you to buy it.
You can try these:

Good luck!

Also grab yourself a copy of "CCleaner" to clean up all the nooks and cranies that viruses and spyware like to install themselves. (C:\Windows\Temp\, etc).

CCleaner

Its Spyware/Adware free, but also prompts to install toolbar, make sure to uncheck that option.

Not if you download the " Slim - Installer " from here
