F-Prot scan results--What's up?

I've been using F-Prot virus protection on this computer since it was new a year ago (as well as AdAware, Spybot, and SpywareBlaster). Lately, the F-Prot has been turning up the following 14 infected files:
Name:
archive.jar-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx.zip>Beyond.class [2 of these]
count.jar-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx.zip>BlackBox.class [4 of these]
count.jar-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx.zip>VerifierBug.class [4 of these]
count.jar-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx.zip>Beyond.class [4 of these]
[xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx is a binary number, with identical numbers for each of the 4 sets of BlackBox, VerifierBug and Beyond]
All 14 of the above have the following:
Path:
C:\Documents and Settings\Michael & Becca\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\javapi\v1.0\jar\
Status:
Suspicious file
Infected by:
Is a destructive program
Information:
Virus-infected files in archives cannot be disinfected.
Each of the zip files in that folder also has a corresponding idx file for each zip file.
Should I manually wipe these out? Ignore?
Michael & Becca are my teenage kids. I assume some game or program one or both of them are using is causing this.
I do not notice any problems with the computer.
Thanks in advance.

In the General tab, under Temporary Internet Files click on the Delete Files... button.
In the next window, make sure all THREE boxs are checked and press OK.
Reboot and scan again with F-Prot. Let me know if that worked.
I wiped them out manually.
Seems ok now.
I'l mark this resolved.
