You do know wiping will mean you'll have to reinstall windows which takes ages and would be a waste of time if these files are not viruses.

EDIT: Anti virus software can get things wrong too, I have kaspersky and any .exe file that isnt from a well known publisher it refuses to let me open. Even though I know there's nothing wrong with them.
