virus found but cant see the file

Running Malwarebytes free version
considering the purchase a moment ago but no button to click to buy and download on line at the moment for some reason.


Also running spybot


Malewarebytes log shows two infections below
When I drill into the c drive, i dont see these files.
Maleware free version has a tool to delete locked files and does not see either of these two files.

Options on deleting these two files,,,start in safemode and hunt them?

or
Suggest a better virus software also cnet approved.

here is my log file with the two infections below,, any pc gurus out there wanna explain an easy way to rid of them?

And that's the reason I switched over to a Mac 5 years ago. ;)

There are sometimes certain files that can only be deleted by the user from what I remember. I've never had a program get rid of everything for me. (even when I used to repair computers)
Do a search for deleting those files on the net. they usually have step by step info on hard to delete files that programs won't get rid of, and where they're located.
