The vault is supposed to isolate those files from interacting with the rest of your system, shouldn't be further problems from them.
Looks like you took a risk, judging by the crack.exe seen in your screenshot...

hmm..bad res on the pic...
But personally, when I find a virus, I'll try to use the heal function but otherwise I just delete the sucker. Nothing ever happened to my comp after doing so .
Just because the virus is in the system folder doesn't mean it is a system file..

Exactly... this is another tactic used by virus writers, getting ppl to believe it's an important sys file so the won't delete it...

Screen Shot
From what I see, it is safe to delete the files.
Here is my guess on what they are
1. tt87.exe is not a system file. Safe to delete.
2. system restore file, I suggest you turn off system restore to delete all the current files and then turn it back on. But it is also safe to delete this file.
3. Seems like a cache file from Firefox. Safe to delete
4. crack.exe, well you know what you did here
5. See #2
6. See #2
