AVG AntiVirus not deleting malware files

Each time I run AVG AntiVirus, it identifies the same 14 malware, which I then delete from quarantine. When I re-run AVG, the exact same malware are identified yet again. So it appears that AVG is not getting rid of the malware. Any suggestions on resolving this?

Hello Chris,

I will check this for you.

Please share the screenshot http://avgclick.me/getscreenshot of the AVG scan results to assist further.

These 2 screenshots show the 14 malware found by AVG on my Mac. If I click on Resolve All, AVG moves them all into quarantine. When can then delete them from quarantine, but they are all listed yet again when I re-run the scan.

Thank you for the info, Chris. 
It seems these temp folders are getting recreated on your device. We recommend you to go to that specific path and delete the files if unwanted. Re-initiate the scan using AVG and check the status.
