Is Driver Support One a Scam? Review of the System Optimization Application
Is Driver Support One a Scam? Review of the System Optimization Application

Driver Support One is not a scam, but it not a system optimization application that is needed by computer users. This is because Windows 10 or your operating system will, for the most part, keep your device drivers up to date without the need for any user interaction. And, if you ever need a device driver you can download them on the support page for your device on the manufacturer's website. Probably 15 years ago or more, Driver Support would be helpful, because back then, operating systems didn't update device drivers automatically and had to be updated manually by computer users or computer professionals.

Also, I have personally seen a few cases where Driver Support created reports about exaggerated PC issues, displays fake errors and other computer-related problems.

They charge you for driver updates that you DO NOT NEED as Microsoft downloads them automatically (unless you elect to have to OK each update when asked). Sounds like a cam to me - selling you something you don't need that uis supplied free. They get at you wuith malware that tells you, falsely, that your printer drivers are "out of date."

I accidentally installed Driver Support …about a week later I got around to uninstalling it. Since then I’ve had consistent problems with my internet connection… 3 drivers were uninstalled that I certainly didn’t remove. Can only assume it was the software. Pain in the proverbial.

I installed it yesterday it took a lot of inputs & between 16-18 minutes to gain access to my computer after three adverts for other products I wasa so fed up l stopped using my PC last night. today it has taken 6 minutes to reach the windows login screen. iot may not be a scam but it is definitely no d--- good for me. my computer is now working at less than half speed, my list of browsing history has gone the display is about as good as vga circa 1996. Don't allow this any where near your technology. Ted B. Sittingbourne Kent

I tried logging in to their website and every time I put in the password they and they said no such person existed on their records! If that is the case, why are they sending me a monthly bill for something I did not order. WHAT DO I DO NOW!

I have the same problem, and they don't reply to any of my emails. I think they are a con. I don't even have the programme on my computer now and they're still charging me a monthly amount.

I vote "NO" considering I trustingly downloaded and paid the budget-friendly subscription, for it to update roughly 8 outdated drivers on my old Windows 8.1 laptop, then FAIL months later when it popped up, stating I needed to reboot my computer so that it could "update". But that never went away :0

I rebooted/restarted my laptop 3x to get the SAME 'please restart' popup. Just ridiculous. I will be more careful next time in choosing a driver recovery.

"Driver Support" presented as a Dell or Microsoft product to me, so I signed up. It is very professionally presented. I signed up thinking it was part of my support system on my Dell PC with Microsoft software at $9.99 per month.

After my second download/update of drivers I couldn't use my HD Webcam as it wasn't recognised on my system, as my camera HD link had been replaced/overridden by a USB video app. I had to delete the app and role back to the HD Webcam connection, then everything worked; like before.

It looks like they provide valid apps etc. but which aren't required if you're operating modern Windows 10 etc. which come with full support. It's probably a support system that may have been desirable a few years ago, when i.e Norton security was downloaded manually, but not required now. At $9.99 per month multiplied World Wide, it must be bringing in a massive amount of subscriptions. I managed to unsubscribe reasonably easily, after I realised what had happened.
