Canon Inc. Files
The following are the Canon Inc. files I have gathered, thanks to the FreeFixer users.
The FreeFixer tool treats files from Canon Inc. as safe, which means that the Canon 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 Canon Inc. file(s). I'm pretty sure those detections are false positives and that the files are safe. It's unlikely that Canon Inc. would ship a malware file.
