    Hello , sorry about your problems. My name is Marco and I will do my best to help you.

    No, if it has detected them and deleted or quarantined them you are ok. But it's possible that Visual Studio won't work anymore if they have infected files that are important to the functioning of the software. So you may have to reinstall it.
