Avira Operations GmbH & Co. KG Files

These are the Avira Operations GmbH & Co. KG files I have gathered, thanks to the FreeFixer users.

The FreeFixer tool treats files from Avira Operations GmbH & Co. KG as safe, which means that the Avira Operations GmbH & Co. KG 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 Avira Operations GmbH & Co. KG file(s).
