I am unable to quarantine the top two, when i hover over it, it says the file might be protected.

Also each time I quarantine and remove the ones in the private/var/db/uuidtext/dsc file, they just reappear again on the next scan?

I am having this same problem since yesterday and I restored my MacBook OS to factory settings because of an infected file named ELF:MiraiDownloader-OG [Drp] that was found in a deep scan. After the factory reset, I downloaded AVG again and it is still showing up. Is this a false positive from the AVG virus scan or is this a problem that I need to have looked at by Apple Support?

I have the same infected file and have no idea how i've got it or why it keeps coming back after I quarantie it and delete it. Subsequent scans keep finding the infected file keep returning againUser-added image.
