Windows Defender and CCleaner

Hey Alan, think I managed to fix the issue. I ran "services.msc", disabled and stopped WindowsSearch and WindowsUpdate. I was then able to delete the files "windows.edb" & "temp.edb" (from the folder in my original query). I then did a restart and Windows recreated both files but AVG scan no longer sees them as the threat "EID_pe_iscorrurpted".
I don't know if the threat was real or not but, fingers crossed … …
Thanks for your time, Alan, regards… Paul
PS got the idea from the bitdefender forum dealing with a similar issue
