What is the difference between “System Files” and “Infected Files” in my Avast! Virus Chest?

I recently did a scan of one of my drives because I suspected something had infected my computer. Afterward, avast! did find 4 infected files. When ever a Virus alert popped up I moved the virus to the Virus Chest like the alert recommended. I now have 4 virus files under the “Infected Files”. But I also have 6 files under the “System File” tab/window, when I click the “System Files” button. What are those files? I’ve read I shouldn’t do anything with them because they are important for the computer to run safely and for avast! to run as well. These are the file in the “System Files” window:

kernel32.dll
kernel32.dll
kernel32.dll
winsock.dll
wsock32.dll
wsock32.dll

What are these files? Are they dangerous?

Also, I emailed the infected files from the “Infected Files” tab/window of the Virus Chest to ALWIL Software because I read somewhere that if I send an email with the infected files attached, they will analyze the files for you and tell you whether to keep them in your Virus Chest or delete them permanently. What is ALWIL and will I get a response from them? The link to email them was on the Virus Chest itself, so I assume I will get a reply.

Thank you :)
