If they weren't detected as major threats or some form of issues you should be good to go. AdwCleaner should clean up any actually malicious software, but other than that, you don't need to worry. If you want, you can do a full thorough system scan just in case. Avast full scan.

Hello,
Yes, you can remove these elements.

Just to be sure, you say that Duckduckgo has been set even if you didn't get any Chrome or Firefox detections?
