NVIDIA Corporation Files

The following are the NVIDIA Corporation files I have gathered, thanks to the FreeFixer users.

The FreeFixer tool treats files from NVIDIA Corporation as trusted, which means that the NVIDIA Corporation 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 NVIDIA Corporation file(s). I'm pretty sure those detections are false positives and that the files are safe. It is unlikely that NVIDIA Corporation would ship a malware file.

Scanner and Detection Names

Here's the detection names for the NVIDIA Corporation files. I've grouped the detection names by each scanner engine. Thanks to VirusTotal for the scan results.

As mentioned above, I think these detections are incorrect since it is very unlikely that NVIDIA Corporation would ship a malware file.
