Lavasoft AB Files

These are the Lavasoft AB files I've collected, thanks to the FreeFixer users.

The FreeFixer tool treats files from Lavasoft AB as safe, which means that the Lavasoft AB 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 Lavasoft AB file(s). I'm pretty sure those detections are incorrect and that the files are safe. It's unlikely that Lavasoft AB would ship a malware file.
