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