    I was looking for some new drivers, and i ran into Driver Detective, i made it scan my pc and it said this:

    ''Driver Detective has identified (23) driver problems on your computer that need to be fixed.

    It is highly recommended that you Register Driver Detective to automatically download and fix all (23) of your driver problems.

    Would you like to Register Driver Detective now to begin fixing your drivers?''
    ...

    So, i wanted to ask if anyone used this before, and is it trustable?

    also, it will undoubtedly ask you to purchase the 'full' version at some point in time, some products completely scan your computer and tell you which viruses you have, but wont remove them until you pay for the product

    I use driver Detective, works good. It&#39;s helpful if you have old drivers or an old motherboard or something and drivers are hard to find for it. You get like 10 copies of it for like 9.99$, or something.

    Driver Detective is Malware at the least. It&#39;s a bunch of crap trying to get you to pay for something you dont need. Believe me, or get suckered like the others. Device manager and an active internet connection is all you will ever need.

    PS if you come across a "hard to find driver" you need new hardware.

    ...also known as "Vundo" or "VirtuMondo". It&#39;s only getting worse as time goes by. There is no free anti-malware software that will completely remove it as of right now. The only actual fix is running MBAM, superantispyware, Windows Live One care, and then manually editing your registry..... It&#39;s a fucking bitch.

    i remeber that bitch...
    back in the days when i bough my first pc...
    no firewall/antivirus/malware
    fuck after that i think i spend at least 1 week trying to fix it then my windows folder had an error so i couln&#39;t boot so reformat.
    And then right away again
    Good thing now i can remove it with my secret software...that evryone also uses....
