TeamViewer GmbH Files
These are the TeamViewer GmbH files I have collected, thanks to the FreeFixer users.
The FreeFixer tool treats files from TeamViewer GmbH as safe, which means that the TeamViewer GmbH 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 TeamViewer GmbH file(s). My guess is that those detections are false positives and that the files are safe. It's unlikely that TeamViewer GmbH would ship a malware file.
