[Want to buy Driver Booster 5.2 to update my PC & laptop drivers]

Hello I am new to this community. I wanted to buy driver booster 5 to update my Laptop and PC drivers. I am not computer geek and I always finds it difficult to update hardware drivers whenever I installs the fresh copy of operating system. By reading from multiple websites I comes to the decision that I should buy driver booster.

First one is complaining about laptop being destroyed by driver booster and second one is complaining that IOBIT software's automatically install unwanted programs without consent of user's.

 

Hi tawari,

Welcome to join us in the Forum.

You may please note IObit is always committed to offer better performance for user's computer. It's true sometimes problems happens with Driver Booster, but you should know that it is impossible for our testing team to test every single driver update in every single PC situation because driver updates quantity is colossal and PC situations are various, and even though the manual updates are from official website cannot be guaranteed to be error-free. However, we have more strict rules to filter drivers and the drivers will be tested before being added into our database. Moreover, by default all driver updates we provide are passed WHQL Test.

If anything wrong happens, just let us know and we'll try our best to help.

 

Yes It's true. Your answer clear all doubts in my mind. Hopefully choosing IOBIT for my laptop will be great experience. Thanks for replying

[Unwanted Software Installs and Advertisements]

At the beginning of January I purchased all IObit software "Advanced SystemCare Ultimate", "IObit Uninstaller", "Protected Folder", "Smart Defrag" and at the end of the month I purchased "Driver Booster" and "IObit Malware Fighter". I just installed all the software and activated them on my new laptop and noticed some strange things I was not expecting:

 

1. I understand "Free" versions having Ads built into the software, but "Registered/Subscription Based" software I did not expect to continue to have these Ads, Is this standard practice for IOBit? Are there plans to remove all advertisements in future releases for Paid/Subscribed versions?

 

2. When I installed “IObit Malware Fighter” and "Driver Booster" and connected my laptop to the internet I noticed the following software getting downloaded and then installed without my knowledge and approval:

 

IOTransfer

KeepVid

Lavasoft Web Companion

 

Had to use “IObit Uninstaller" to remove them but it did not completely remove them, and I’m not sure what else got “Automatically” installed I did a quick check and did not notice anything else.

 

Is this IObit’s policy to automatically install unwanted software without user approval? Kind of strange that these “Security” type of software would install these unwanted application, Is there a way to “Turn Off/Disable” these automatic application installs?

 

I’m worried that going forward that “Additional Software” will be installed without my knowledge or approval.

 

Anyone else have this happen or have previous experience with IObit software doing this or any comments/suggestions would be appreciated?

 

Thanks

 

I am interested in buying the Iobit Driver Booster Program, What you suggest me, should I go for driver booster
