Creative Labs Inc Files

The following are the Creative Labs Inc files I have collected, thanks to the FreeFixer users.

The FreeFixer tool treats files from Creative Labs Inc as trusted, which means that the Creative Labs Inc 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 Creative Labs Inc file(s). My guess is that those detections are incorrect and that the files are safe. It is unlikely that Creative Labs Inc would ship a malware file.
