Driver Support which is also known as DriverSupport or Windows Driver Updater, is a legit program that can be used to scan or update drivers on your computer, it can also be used to identify various PC issues like any driver errors and the like.  But how this program appears on your computer? Like many others who claim it suddenly pops up from nowhere and they can’t simply remove it, even failed to remove it through a typical removal method. Concerns include that this program is not free to use, and though it claims to be able to fix all the driver errors scanned from your computer, and however, the drivers cannot be updated unless the user purchases a semi-annual subscription to the said program. No matter how enticing it is to click and install the program to fix your computer, and we don’t claim that the program is malicious; we just want to warn you of possible future issues and inconveniences.
Mainly, what’s annoying about this program is that there are pop-ups appearing on your computer even without installing or downloading this app on the system, it’s because this program is actively spread through bundling. This basically means that this may show up once you have installed some freeware, shareware, and other similar software. If you think there’s a need to enhance your computer’s performance, definitely you can opt with Driver Support or you can look for some other similar programs. However, if you already noticed Drive Support ads showing up on your computer even without downloading it, then you should remove it. Try to locate and uninstall every component of this app so you could totally remove the program. Or else, it will just keep reappearing on your computer.
