ALWIL Software Files

The following are the ALWIL Software files I've gathered, thanks to the FreeFixer users.

The FreeFixer tool treats files from ALWIL Software as trusted, which means that the ALWIL Software files will appear with a green background and that there's no removal checkbox for the file. However, as you can see in the scan results below, a few of the anti-virus scanners detects the ALWIL Software file(s). I'm pretty sure those detections are incorrect and that the files are safe. It's unlikely that ALWIL Software would ship a malware file.
