Broadcom Corporation Files

These are the Broadcom Corporation files I've gathered, thanks to the FreeFixer users.

The FreeFixer tool treats files from Broadcom Corporation as trusted, which means that the Broadcom Corporation 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 Broadcom Corporation file(s). I'm pretty sure those detections are false positives and that the files are safe. It is unlikely that Broadcom Corporation would ship a malware file.
