Is this a scam?

[HoodiniTheGamer]

I , being naïve don't think this is a scam , a friend though said to me this is a scam, I don't know if it is or isn't .
anyone of you have had bad experiences with the program ? Is it a scam like my friend says ?

time is money and id rather pay a small fee to update 40+ drivers then look for them myself

why do you need to update anything other than your GPU drivers? there is quite literally no reason to manually do it, anything that relies on other drivers will always package with compatible drivers that install, or at least is offered to install along with the program you're already installing.

it helped me find old drivers that manufacturers dont offer anymore or are hard to find. windows doesnt give you all drivers and some break your system too. wifi drivers etc of course we can all download nvidia drivers but thats not all a system needs. it did f up my sound driver once so back up before using it.

Its not snake oil. Since this actually does what it says. it updates your drivers.

Thing is you can you can get all the drivers for free.

The program is more like Hello Fresh, or Blue Apron meal delivery. You know those food deliveries that you can get delivered every week that are a meal in a box. They send you every thing you need to cook a meal in a box. You could go out and get all those foods yourself. But having them delivered in a box all nice a prepped is nice.

Destroyed my PC twice and really don't know why I bother updating my drivers from here. Will probably show YouTube the harm this did to my PC, to tell them it isn't really worth it.

It doesnt do anything that you cannot steadily do through Nvidia/ Amd automatic Updates or through Windows Updates and it loves to go overkill even if it breaks your system.

Avoid Iobit softwares in general, you don't need that trash.

I am so thankful I read your comment. I was considering paying for the pro version. It won't even launch on my PC anyways but at least I know how worthless it is to begin with.

Glad I could help, its essentially a russian roulette if it installs the driver without a hitch or it decides to send your system into "brickland.

Now some people will never have issues with it. But it begs the question if its worth the risk compared to the...benefits, if we can really call it that, that it "graciously" offers for cash.

If you can, please spread the word among people you know, especially among those who are not tech-savy and may fall for this garbage that Iobit has no shame pushing out the door.

When I was considering even buying it, I was asking myself if this was any different than just using the NVidia's driver update thing. Like I said, I am so happy I didn't buy this or even use it now knowing the risks. I remember using something years ago for updating drivers. For the most part, it worked just fine, but there was this one driver that would give me a blue screen and basically brink my PC unless I wipe it. Not sure if it's by this same company though.

[Female!Zangos]

why

[Eomak]

Just want to say i have been using 4-5 years now..no problems..i am not not sure if scam or not..but its always been great for updating my drivers and when playing games its turns off programs auto click and then back again when not playing games with a click.

[GODbuman]

u also can use snappy driver installer

[Ante]

or you could just download the at most two drivers you actually need to update yourself and avoid these ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ malware programs

Windows usually does a great job of automatically keeping your drivers up to date making this program moot. Any drivers you might have to manually download and configure can be found on the manufacturer's support page for the intended product.

If your hardware product is so old that a driver cannot be easily found without this, I would still think it better to try and find it on your own. That way you at least know exactly what you're downloading and where you're downloading it from.
