searchqu and search nu got installed on my laptop, but I think I have successfully removed them. But now I have found 3 related files in C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch folder. The names are: SEARCHQU TOOLBAR UNINSTALL.EX-2DC9C271.pf, SEARCHQUMEDIABAR.EXE-24754703.pf, and SETUPDATAMNGR_SEARCHQU.EXE-037068A3.pf. Are these dangerous? Can I just delete them? Should I ignore them?

Yes, you can remove the files in the prefetch folder.
Those are used to optimize the loading and startup of programs and will be regenerated if required.
