Now that you have them in the virus vault you should be able to delete them from within AVG.

I not familiar with AVG but, most make a scan log. Open up AVG and find the scan log and it should tell what they are and where they were. Many can be Deleted by Right Click, Delete. Some may be more troublesome to remove. When you know their names (EX. 543-2boot.exe) you could do a search or ask here.
My Virus Software will ask if I want them Quarantined, which, I do. Then after a few days when I sure it was not actually something important for a program to run, I can open Quarantine and Delete whatever is there.

Viruses are nasty little things, and almost impossible to get rid of. However, there is an alternative option. There are free anti-virus softwares that you can download that will automatically detect and erase the viruses immediately.

Find where the files are, and delete them manually.
If that doesn't works use a (better) trial anti-virus. (That one month is more than enough.)

if they are quarantined I wouldnt worry about it. Basically means they are recoded and cant do any damage to your computer.
