Driver Whiz Virus - How to remove

Can Driver Whiz be categorized as a top-level virus? Probably not. Is it an unwanted and misleading program? Definitely. It is full of false positives – the intention is to create tension and scare the user, then convince him to purchase the solution to this problem, which happens to be a premium version of Driver Whiz.

Even though it is promoted as a unique tool that will help to update all the Drivers on the Windows operating system on time, however, it is not valuable at all and you should not pay money for it. Taking into consideration that it is distributed using unfair methods, this makes Driver Whiz malware.

If you have downloaded Driver Whiz by yourself or if it was infiltrated into your system without your consent – continue reading the article. We will provide you with the most relevant information about this tool and why it is tricky. Also, we will tell you the easiest way how to get rid of it easiest way possible.

Why Driver Whiz Isn’t Legitimate

We have already mentioned that Driver Whiz returns a lot of false positives – they are trying to create an image that your computer has a lot of problems that can be solved automatically if you purchase this program. This technique is pretty common to various rogue applications.

Programs like PCProtect or Safe PC Cleaner always notify users about security problems or various junk files stored on the system. Immediately after that, they suggest solving all of them by purchasing a premium version of the software.

There is nothing unfair or illegal in selling software that can actually solve problems, but the problem is that they report problems that don’t actually exist and that’s nothing more than a scam. Driver Whiz features a full computer scan that can provide an in-depth analysis of the drivers that are on the system. Some of them might be missing, some might be out of date and some of them might be damaged. Regardless of the situation on your computer, Driver Whiz will always report that there is something wrong with your drivers. That’s not fair – false reporting is always leading into a scam.

After that, they will ask you to pay $29,95 for o year license or $39.90 for two years license. Please do not do that – Driver Whiz can’t solve any of those problems, even if there actually are problems. Also, you should get rid of it as soon as possible, even if you haven’t paid for it.

First of all, your computer might run slower due to the presence of this application. It can start various processes or automatically generate junk files. Also, other malware such as adware or browser hijackers can be infiltrated into your system, so you will have to face even more cybersecurity problems.

Driver Whiz Distribution

There are a lot of ways to distribute various unwanted programs, but the most popular is called bundling. Users are complaining that Driver Whiz just shows up out of nowhere and that’s because it came attached to some other program.

When you download and install some kind of freeware, various malicious programs can come as an unexpected attachment. That’s why we recommend keeping your computer secured with reliable anti-malware software all the time. Try using Plumbytes or Malware fighter for this task.

Also, you should only download software from reliable websites and keep an eye on the install process. If during the install you notice something suspicious or you are suggested another free program – do not agree with that. There is a high chance that it is malware or potentially unwanted programs.

How To Get Rid of Driver Whiz

Luckily, there is an easy and effective way to get rid of this PUP – you simply have to scan your computer with Spyhunter. Either of those problems can instantly detect and remove Driver Whiz.
