Citrix Online Files

The following are the Citrix Online files I've gathered, thanks to the FreeFixer users.

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