Popcap Games is considered Adware and thus is targeted for removal.
It's up to you. If you want those games and advertising then put all of those files on the IGNORE list and it won't find them again.
If you don't want or use the Popcap Games then you can go into your Control Panel, Add/Remove and remove them and then after a reboot scan again with MBAM for any left over items.
