Those files are core Windows System Files that are rewritten by the
operating system each time Windows is run and therefore the file
creation date (and perhaps the file checksum) will be changed.
The memo notation on the AVG test results is just acknowledging that
these files have been changed in some way since the last time AVG was
run, and is not a cause for concern. These specific files will always
show that way on the test summary each and every time AVG is run.
If there was a virus infection in the file then you would get the full
"red screen" AVG virus detected advisory.
Based on what you have said you can safely ignore this specific issue
with regards to these 3 specific files.
Good luck
