Creative Technology Files

These are the Creative Technology files I've collected, thanks to the FreeFixer users.

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

As mentioned above, I think these detections are incorrect since it is very unlikely that Creative Technology would ship a malware file.
