Intel(R) pGFX Files

The following are the Intel(R) pGFX files I have collected, thanks to the FreeFixer users.

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