Suspicious Cloud 9

Within the last month, Norton has begun detecting a list of threats it calls "Suspicious Cloud 9"  and says that "Removal Failed" and recommends I take action.  The words "Suspicious Cloud 9" is a link and when I click on it, another table comes up identifying the threat as a file and gives its location on my hard drive.  Each of these threats are traceable to files that have been on my hard drive for more than 5 years and are all from one GIS software company.  I deleted all these files and emptied the recycle bin and I have run Power Eraser but Norton continues to "detect" them.  Is this a real threat?  What can I do to correct this?
