SuperAdBlocker.com Files

The following are the SuperAdBlocker.com files I have gathered, thanks to the FreeFixer users.

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