They are usually just history record on your computer--trace information which can be used to find out what you have been doing or other private information. For example, if you visit duckduckgo.com, your browser will remeber that visit in its history section. When an anti-virus program finds and removes this, it prevents spyware or a person from finding out later where you have been. If for no other reason, this can help reduce targeted advertizing, if you are infected with spyware.
