WHAT UPDATE
August 1, 2018

Purchased driverupdate online as was having problems then it came up with a message saying pc not suitable? Contacted support who spent ages trying to fix then telling me it was a problem with Windows Update which took forever when finished restart and all should be resolved. Well updates finished, restarted and found I had lost my network adapter driver in the process. No help was given on contacting them a second time and I had to resort to doing a Windows Restore (which miraculously gave me back my missing driver) have asked for a refund but not holding my breath.

Rip off
July 14, 2018

They pressured me to buy and found out they are charging me monthly instead of a one charge. They won't respond to my complaint.

Scam Artists
February 26, 2018

They have no intentions of helping you. They simply charge you the 60 bucks then try to sell you more worthless crap. The computer is no different now than before they "worked" on it. Once they have a contact phone number they hound you up to 14 times a day, FRAUD!

Never go there
December 9, 2017

By far the lousiest service level I've even seen! They are so nice until they charge your credit card and off they go! They disconnected the remote session before doing any meaningful work on my machine. The laptop is a lot worse than before they worked on it. They were supposed to optimize it! It's anything but optimized. Those folks know exactly what they're doing, that is take your money! No real technical support or value

The WORST
November 28, 2017

After paying for this service had an agent put me through hell trying to activate service.
Will see when I get my refund.
Sounds like partying was going on in the background, agent said we had a bad connection. The WORST experience.

DON"T BUY!
August 31, 2017

I bought their Premium Support last night, I was told I can get a refund if the job is unsatisfactory, WELL, it is unsatisfactory. My computer is suppose to be working better but instead it got worst. I WANT MY MONEY BACK! Called hours later to tell them to cancel, then I was told " ah billing is closed right now, we'll call you at 8am" never got the call so I called around 9:45am. The lady told me I cannot get a refund... I am not happy with the job, I did not see any improvement on my computer, I was told I can get a refund, now I am told I can't get my money back... SCAM... SCAM... SCAM...

Extremely bad idea
May 27, 2017

My laptop seemed to be running slow and kept getting a pop up saying my driver is out of date and must update it. I'm not a very computer savvy person so thought it was something I must do. So I called the number provided. $24.99 is what they tell me. So this I paid and also gave them access to my laptop. They then tell me and show me a few things on my laptop that are very bad and must be removed. That package cost me $139.99. Which also came along with their antivirus. Two weeks after this I went to do a scan and it was unresponsive. I contacted them and was told how to uninstall it and a link to download another. I did so. Still unresponsive. I gave them access to see what the problem was. They worked on it constantly uninstalling and reinstalling it. For two days this happened. When I seen them download something to TWEEK WINDOWS I put a stop to it and told them just to activate my windows firewall and would deal with it later. They have claimed that their server is down and will contact me when an update is available. I had to have Microsoft undo everything that they did to my pc and it was a huge mess. Stay away from these people.

This is not needed and tried to sneak up on me. I have driver update software installed i don't need two. And no you give or sale my info for just using your product. I never ask for it. But thanks for my time to figure all this out. I wasted mine not nice. On top of that if you read the fine print they are getting your info and getting your permission to use, share and sell it. WRONG! Oh and if i don't agree some stuff may not work and cause problems, Gee Thanks for your help. I can update my own drivers with Windows already built in software I paid for and purchased. I need nothing else AND I DIDN'T SEE THAT IN YOUR FINE PRINT

Very misleading dialogue on the phone they indicate that they can solve your problems and then connect you to a closer that asked for $249 after i paid the $29.95 to repair the problem. It is misleading and they are cheering in the background when someone closes a sale i can hear it on the phone. They are smooth and canned but very good a conning you. They are in India and are ripping off Americans every minute. Do not buy from them.

I should have known better
September 28, 2013

I should have known better. I paid. I received the serial number that was supposed to let me download the driver update. It is not working. The site is trying to get me to buy more things. I have called the credit card company to dispute the charge. I am demanding a refund. I will not work with this company.

This web site should be totally avoided at all costs! They are affiliated with driver update and fix cleaner and the technical support staff are rude, obnoxious and totally unreliable in fixing computer problems and issues. They are famous for taking remote access and leaving a paying Customer out to dry-meaning the
Problem you had from the start will only get worse if you allow these so called computer JERKS any access to your computer for any reason! Save your money and find a reputable company which these web sites are not! You will end up spending more money to fix a problem they create! AVOID *******@driverupdate.net and their telephone number of *******197 as they will never return your calls and the only way to obtain a refund is to raise HELL
With the bank that accepts the payments for these low life cheating and scamming vendors to date!

The website is great, as are the products from SlimWare Utilities. I've downloaded and installed them all on multiple systems, and enjoyed the ease of use and friendly atmosphere developed by the team at SWU on socnet sites such as Facebook, where they held a great contest drawing for thumb drives and gave tee shirts out to those that would provide reviews for their new products. It's all provided through cloud technology, making it free and free to everyone. Get with these guys and enjoy the SWU touch on your computer(s). And no... they didn't pay me to write this. I just like to turn good people onto good things. Oh, but I DID get one of those nice tee shirts. Give Slimware Utilities a go and see for yourself!

I found a review on this site on a blog a couple months back, so thought I would give one of their downloads a go. So I installed SlimDrivers - after installing the product, it prompted me to create an account with them (which made me suspicious at first), but it was well worth it in the end. SlimDrivers is free and saves time. It found 26 driver updates for my computer and it gave me a link to click to update my drivers - was that easy. In the end - it really does save you time searching the net to find out if your drivers have updates.
