2. /private/var/db/uuidtext/CE/091E3F4BEB3FA1BB3B9B04E33EA54D

3. /private/var/db/uuidtext/8B/BB1EDDB3363F1BBA0C9C25D1A3DD42

4. /Users/mgj/Library/Application Support/

5. /Users/mgj/Library/Application Support/amc/

6. /Users/mgj/Library/Application Support/amc/

Those are not "safe" file paths.

For example the path:
/Users/mgj/Library/Application Support/amc/helperamc.app

... refers to "Advanced Mac Cleaner" which is a "fake utility" program which promises to "clean" or make your computer "faster" while doing quite the opposite.

So AVG is right to quarantine the "helperamc".

You can read more about the scam utility from the Apple forums:

Or just by googling "Advanced Mac Cleaner".
