[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 853637, member: 31436"] It is safe. The only reason it is detected, is because Malwarebytes often classifies software such as driver updaters and junk cleaners as PUPs. It has got absolutely nothing to do with any possible privacy concerns. IObit's Driver Booster gets detected too, but not because IObit stole their malware definitions, it's just because of their aggressive detection of PUPs which they started a few years ago. It may well be safe, but it does an abysmal job of finding driver updates. Not only do most alternatives find more driver updates, but in spite of its limited driver database, its accuracy at finding the correct drivers is not very good. For example, the free version of Driver Booster, will usually find significantly more drivers and it is much better at finding the correct drivers. The review you linked to, like many reviews these days is laughable. One of the cons they list is "No support for MacOS, Linux, iOS, Android." You don't need driver update software for any of those operating systems. [/QUOTE]
