BITDEFENDER LLC Files

These are the BITDEFENDER LLC files I have collected, thanks to the FreeFixer users.

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