I received a message that said MS antivirus reported the following malware:
- Trojan-PSW.win32launch
- Hack Tool:win32/WelevateA
- Adware.win32Frauf.
I am not running MS antivirus. What do you think of these 3 messages?
thanks,

Windows Defender is still running silently and these threats may be detected by it. You have to stop its services and disable its startup type if you are running other Antivirus program.
PS: By the way this is not the forum to ask help for other Antivirus programs.

Thanks. I do not use any antivirus except BD - I think it is the best. I mentioned the names of the above threats as I thot maybe BD had heard of them, or they might be something new. My apologies. I will follow your advice, although I know windows defender is closed off.
...My apologies...
You have to trust BD because, as you think, is the best (although it cannot find any malware).
In serious, as ONT mentioned, there is obviously another AV (perhaps previously) installed on your system. Thus, you have to find and uninstall it. Then, if BD cannot still find any malware...guess what?
Regards!

See the attachment and follow them. In the 4th snap, first Stop the Service Status and then Disable the Startup Type.
And for Microsoft products related issues, you have to browse their forum

Hello,
Do you have any Bitdefender product installed?
If not, please run a QuickScan here:
