Successfully installed and registered to DriverMax Pro status.

DriverMax Pro then performs scan & determines available driver updates, but subsequently refuses to download driver updates, citing this promotional benefit is only available to residents of Germany.

Program's Pro registration remains intact, but Pro-level downloads are blocked.

Four hits on VT as a riskware.
You'll get the same (if not more detections) for any driver update software. Despite popular belief, no driver update software comes with or installs malware, but many av vendors consider driver updaters and other cleaners and systen utilities as PUPs these days. Also, driver update software and other PUPs are often wrongly detected as trojans or other forms of malware.

I'd stay away from DriverMax.

And I'm not anti-driver-update.

I tried DriverMax, and.... one, it gave me incorrect drivers. And secondly, it uses tricks to make it very hard to uninstall. Even two different uninstallers could not remove it.

In the case of DriverMax, it is a PUP.

Just search on "DriverMax PUP" or "DriverMax Malware." And you will see..

Maybe try DriverBooster, or the one @roger_m recommended.... which I don't remember the name of..

DriverHub works well, but it does come bundled with extra software. This will not be an issue if you pay attention when installing it and opt out of installing the extra software. It's free and often will find more driver updates and drivers for devices with no driver installed than other driver update software.

It's worth noting that all driver update software can cause issues, so should be used with care.

I haven't seen the issues you have with DriverMax. But one potential problem with it, is that it sometimes installs custom video drivers. These are user modified drivers, rather than the offical ones from the OEM.

Based upon the abundance of caution offered here, uninstalled DriverMax quite easily using past giveaways RegOrganizer/SoftOrganizer, except for a few incidental registry entries that I searched out and removed manually.

There was no need to uninstall it, if you liked using it. There is nothing malicious about it. Just about any driver update software will be classisifed as a PUP (or even wrongly identified as malware) by some security software. But it sometimes will install drivers that are incompaitble or can cause issues, just like any driver update software.

I'd be careful using Reg Organizer, as sometimes it will want to delete needed registry keys.

I use 3dp chip (free) for driver updates, pay attention when installing it and opt out of installing the extra software.

I have been using it for 6 months now, and there’s almost nothing to complain about.
I used a free version, and it applies some restrictions: checking for driver updates, not every day, but once a week, the ability to install only 2 drivers per day. But these are not such serious flaws to abandon this utility.
During installation, you will have to create an account by entering the email address. It is necessary for subsequent updates of the program itself. The program will not work if you do not install the latest version, the release of which it informs on time.
The utility performs its functions perfectly and timely informs about the release of new drivers, offering to download and install them. At the same time, it recommends creating a backup copy of the updated driver, which I tell you, based on personal experience, should not be neglected. My opinion on DriverMax is positive
