On emisoft emergency malware prog, picked up these files.

"bthudtask.exe".

"pla.dll"

"windows.ui.CredDialogControlled.dll"

These files are in dir, Windows/SysWow64/........

Classed as "high risk", cannot delete or move them to quarantine folder..... Is the SysWow64 a genuine ms system file. How do I right this problem.?

    Does your resident antimalware program (Avast, AVG, McAfee, Norton, etc) detect the files as potential malware?

    I've never had detections on such files when scanning with the Emsisoft Emergency Kit.

    What issues are you seeing that concerned you so that you opted to use an independent scanner?

    If you're not sure what they are or whether the files are malicious you should ignore the detections but I suggest you submit copies of the files to Virustotal and the MMPC for analysis:
