For just a few hundred more dollars, you can have them fixed! It’s basically just the Windows tech support phone call scam, but they’re only going after people who have already proven they’ll spend money for questionable software. Some reviews on allege that if you actually pay $30, you’ll receive a phone call from customer service informing you that they found problems on your computer during the driver update scan.
It then attempts to install other junk software you won’t want. The program starts out claiming to be by a “Microsoft Gold Certified Partner.” This doesn’t actually mean Microsoft has placed their stamp of approval on this utility. it will scan your computer for drivers for free, and then you can pay $30 to receive free automatic driver updates for a year. We installed this software so you don’t have to - really, don’t try this at home.
This is usually a bad sign - we also see ads for PC cleaners, registry cleaners, game boosters, and all sorts of other utilities that don’t actually do anything besides try to make money from you and install garbage onto your PC. We’ve seen advertisements for a “Driver Update Utility” from all over the place recently. They do this by scaring you with threats of blue screens and system problems.Įven if a driver-updating tool worked perfectly and the company behind it didn’t seem unbelievably sleazy, they wouldn’t be worth your time - much less your money. Like PC-cleaning programs, they try to charge you money for a service you don’t need. Never download a driver-updating utility.
