It may not cause any "visible" problems - it could just be doing damage out of sight.
Answers:
What are the viruses called? They might be trojans which the antivirus software is not so good at dealing with. Have you updated and run AdAware, Spybot Search & Destroy or other similar software? Have a look at the thread and try one of them.
Answers:
don't forget that you need to run AVG in safe mode to clean properly
Answers:
I think they are trojans I couldnt be bothered looking into it that much.
Browntoa do you mean have the computer in safe mode and run avg?

Thats exactly what he means run the PC in safe mode usually tap F8 at start up to go into safe mode then run a AVG scan.
Then restart PC as normal after scan completion.
Answers:
nelly - if they're not casusing any visible harm to your PC they may be "sleepers" awaiting an activation signal.
If they are Trojans download the fully working trial version of Trojanhunter here.....
Have it scan your machine to clean out anything it finds.
Best of luck.
Answers:
Trojans are very bad!!
Some have keyloggers attached, watching every bank detail you type in, some can peep through your webcam and watch you, most can access, delete, and modify all of your files, upload and download to and from your computer....
You say you can't be bothered to look into them huh?
Get them fixed !
Answers:
Trojans are bad Mmmmm Kkkkkk

You may be right.
However, SUN probably refers to SunJava....a platform used by many websites - and others - to get certain animations etc. to work properly.
It is, as you say, also a place where malware hides.
As you have now deleted that folder you may find some websites won''t work.
If you need it again you can download the proper free version of it here.....
Answers:
Not forgetting if you have AVG it will sometimes say Java is a Virus
when it isnt, thats because there were a few problems with AVG updates.
Should all be cleared up now though..
