Today, I will be introducing how to uninstall the Driver Update.
Driver Update is an annoying program that disguises itself a security update. The program starts without warning when you are using your computer.
Have you ever come across a popup ad that tells you your computer has been infected by a virus while surfing the net? You click the screen to learn more and click download to try to remedy the problem. If you download and install the program it will say that to remove the infected files you will have to purchase an upgrade. This is what is called adware.
On screen it may say 「Microsoft Partner」 and you may thing it is reliable but it is just adware and it has nothing to do with Microsoft.
By the way, there is another program called Driver Updater but this is also adware. Please refer to my article regarding the Driver Updater hereこちら.
Deleting it is easy.
There are several ways of doing so, here are the different versions Windows 7 ,8.1 and 10.
