VIA Technologies Inc. Files

These are the VIA Technologies Inc. files I have gathered, thanks to the FreeFixer users.

The FreeFixer tool treats files from VIA Technologies Inc. as trusted, which means that the VIA Technologies Inc. files will appear with a green background and that there is no removal checkbox for the file.
