Paragon Software GmbH Files

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

The FreeFixer tool treats files from Paragon Software GmbH as safe, which means that the Paragon Software GmbH 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 Paragon Software GmbH file(s). My guess is that those detections are false positives and that the files are safe. It's unlikely that Paragon Software GmbH would ship a malware file.
