Virus & Avast

Hey, recently i got several warnings about a virus detection from avast, so last night i ran a thorough scan all night while in safe mode. 5 infections were found. i tried repairing 1 of the files, but i got an error saying it could not complete it, so i tried adding all of them to the chest and it gave me a similsr error, and then i just tried deleteing them all and i got another similar error about not being able to complete the task, at this point i was running late and avast had a "view last scan results" button so i just shut off the computer so i could come back later. but when i just turned the comp back on, there is no history of the last scan i did or the detections it picked up...annoying. this is the second time i encounterd awful design when trying to use their scanner. suggestions? other than a new AV for now.
 
oh, i did find this in the log viewer...but i cant do much with it.

i went to all these locations and for 3/5 of them avast told me a virus was found and then i moved it to the chest with no errors this time, however 2 of them are still not found:
