There Uninstaller is good, also driver booster ,
A PUP classification indicates that an app is not malicious, just something that isn't needed, even though some people may find the app to be useful. Most cleaning apps and driver updaters get classified as PUPs.

the uninstaller is fine, the driver booster creates more problems... just use OEM tools if you worried about auto-updates...
It can do, as the driver matching is not best. But this is true for most third party driver updaters.

so don't use them, update manually or download OEM tools, Intel support assistant etc...
I've used pretty much every driver updater there is and the following do a very good job of finding the correct drivers.
Snappy Driver Installer Origin
PC HelpSoft Driver Updater. This is published under many different names.
Driver Easy
DriverFinder
DriverGenius. The Chinese app, not the English language one, which is unrelated.
360 Total Security. The paid Pro version includes a driver updater. You can use their Chinese language standalone driver updater, 360 Driver Master for free.
Every other third party driver update tool, does a worse job.
I use Windows Update and manufacturer provided driver update tools initially though. Where possible, I try to avoid manually updating drivers, as it's more convenient to use apps to do it.
I haven´t found any PUPs on it. Only the iobit Advanced System Care have PUPs incl...said Malwarebytes (?)
A Potentially Unwanted Software/PUP detection, means that the app itself has been classified as a PUP by the particular scanner that detects it. Currently the latest version of Driver Booster is classified as a PUP by three antiviruses, while Advanced SystemCare is only classified as a PUP my Malwarebytes.
