Avira GmbH Files

These are the Avira GmbH files I've collected, thanks to the FreeFixer users.

The FreeFixer tool treats files from Avira GmbH as trusted, which means that the Avira GmbH files will appear with a green background and that there is 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 Avira GmbH file(s). I'm pretty sure those detections are incorrect and that the files are safe. It is unlikely that Avira GmbH would ship a malware file.
