Razer Inc. Files

The following are the Razer Inc. files I have collected, thanks to the FreeFixer users.

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