Virus?

[Guest]

My antivirus software have a result that

"The file C:\Program Files\Common
Files\{38D87A76-0A6B-3076-1210-041101050354}\Bar888.dll is a Adware threat."

"The file C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchosts.exe is a Adware threat."

I'd like to ask whether my Windows will be damaged if I delete these two
files?

Google for each of them and see they are Trojans.

"svchosts.exe" is not an Windows file, it's obviously trying to fool a
casual observer by using a name close to "svchost.exe" which is an
Windows executable.

Any anti-trojan freeware recommended?
