Hello Alexander,

what's the full path of such files? Please keep in mind that sometimes AVAST produces false positives, specially with javascript files.

I'm 90% sure they are false positives. I suspect your antivirus sees some minified files and then flags them as virus.
If you want to be 100% sure, simply install both extensions again, then run AVAST again. If they are still flagged, it means that are false positives.
