Windows 10: Help with Windows Defender

I just had my Windows reinstalled because I kept getting AdobeIPC Broker application errors (and others like AGCInvoker). I've read about guides to fix these errors, but I also read from a reddit user of his own experience and only a clean reinstallation solving it for him. So I opted for the reinstall.

After the reinstall, I got my laptop back with security threats from Defender for: Virus:Win64/Expiro.MG!bit and Virus:Win32/Floxif.H.

The affected items are from trusted folders :
file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Maintenance Service\maintenanceservice.exe
service: MozillaMaintenance

file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\87.0.664.41\elevation_service.exe
regkey: HKLM\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\TYPELIB\{C9C2B807-7731-4F34-81B7-44FF7779522B}\1.0

service: MicrosoftEdgeElevationService

My Defender says it's up to date.

So is this really a virus? I have to install some software I use for work but Defender blocks it after detecting the Expiro or Floxif threats when I try to run it.
Are these really viruses? I've chosen "quarantine" on some threats and "clean" on others just to see the difference, but every time I do a quick scan, it comes back up.

Would really appreciate some input on this.
