"You will be sorry if you get this"
Version: Driver Whiz 6.6.0.15
Pros
The Pros are not worth taking about when you consider the Cons
Cons
Downloaded Drivers from locations that may not have had the best interest of my computer. Questionalbe advise... the results of following the advise ending up more blue screens of death than I have ever seen before. The same cookie cutter advise all the time.
Summary
Downloaded and tried hoping that this would improve my computers performance. The software identified many different driver requirements and I attempted to use those drivers. The software seems to like to grab the latest microsoft driver rather than the hardware manufactures recommendations. After installing all of the drivers and following the advice from the automated company e-mails... it became apparent that this was just some cash cow that someone wrote to line their pocket. My hardware is 5 - 6 years old and I had upgraded the BOIS, Processor and other hardware so that it continued to meet my needs. In time I will undo what this crap software has done and I won't trust these kinds of programs ever. Better to do you own reserch and download your own drivers and instructions than let some program do it for you. This had been what I have been doing... I thought I was going to save myself some time... I was a fool for thinking this.

"Totally useless with suspicious malware behavoir"
Version: Driver Whiz 6.6.0.15
Pros
None whatsoever
Cons
Totally useless
Hard to unistallSummary
Tried to update my drivers, was diagnosed with have 18 out of date drivers. In the course of downloading new drivers noticed that I'm downloading exactly the same driver all the time, regardless of the driver function. Installed the downloads nevertheless and did scanning again. Was again diagnosed with the same 18 out of date drivers. Wrote to their customer service and received a 'canned' reply.
Tried to uninstall it, but it modified the "Uninstall Program" menu in the Control Panel (I use Windows 7 Ultimate)so there's no 'uninstall' option. Downloaded Revo Uninstaller and did deep scan uninstall. Found out that it modified many registry and spawned itself on several places in the hard drive. Did not want to mess with the registry, but removed all the program traces. My computer works better now - faster and no more freezes. Stay away from this software! -
