Sonic Solutions Files

The following are the Sonic Solutions files I have gathered, thanks to the FreeFixer users.

The FreeFixer tool treats files from Sonic Solutions as safe, which means that the Sonic Solutions 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 Sonic Solutions file(s). My guess is that those detections are incorrect and that the files are safe. It's unlikely that Sonic Solutions would ship a malware file.
