All were quarantined
Interesting that MacAfee didn't find any but Malwarebytes has.
It also gives me an option to reinstall these threats if I want to!!
Different AV programs use different algorithms: that’s why I use several tools. 99% of the time I rely on my standard AV, but every so often - and particularly when I’ve had a ‘scare’ like you’ve had - I wheel out MalwareBytes.
Often the ‘threats’ MB identifies are just executables you’ve installed legitimately but it doesn’t recognise - hence the ‘reinstall’ option. That ‘Generic Malware’ threat is worrying, though...
THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED 
Malwarebytes also give an option to reinstall that "Generic Malware" but I've 'quarantined' it, which makes it safe.
