Avast Driver Updater

Question

Hello,

here they go too... with a bit of luck, it will be "forced" on all computers with free Avast!
We are not done having computer crashes with all these cleaning software and driver update programs that are rampant and messing up Windows.
And of course, it starts up with Windows..

Wow $50 a year!!

Configuration: Well set up!

I've got a good joke!

Avast offered me "Driver Updater" and I accepted to see it, suspecting it would end up as a sales pitch, and sure enough. (so far, so normal)
Windows Update restarted, notification of outdated drivers from the new guy who is already really annoying. Hold on a minute, it's next on my list...
A few minutes later, here's Avast blocking an attack and quarantining... "Avast Driver Update.exe"! Oo

LOL

Good evening Malekal-dead;

This feature was already available (if I'm not mistaken) on the Avast freeway.
I believe it’s called: Software Updater.
Now, for the same thing, they want to charge $50 a year?
Some will quickly change antivirus, and certainly I will be the first, as Avast is becoming a real hassle :-(

It seems that Avast! Updater Driver is the Driver Updater from Slimware that has been rebranded as Avast!.

The irony is that other editors have classified the software as a PUP: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/ffb9d98ceaf225d642191b3a9664ced55e40b66502a736f799321a7c605891af
By the way, I had listed the cleaner at my place: https://forum.malekal.com/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=53423#p423016

Hi

More and more, Avast is essentially a money-making machine....

Their entire strategy seems to be based on the multiplication of "services".... services that are of course paid and intertwined in their presentation.... playing on the ominous side of "your machine has certain deficiencies...." and a flood of messages that confuse the user....

Many people will be surprised after opting for one of the options to find themselves charged for others... because they won’t have been able to sort through them...

They cast a wide net... if you don’t use Avast and download Ccleaner, the Avast download is pre-checked.... once the "customer" is acquired.... it’s just a matter of inundating them with alarming warnings to encourage them to switch to paid tools.... and so on!

I uninstalled Avast on W10 (without regrets)... I keep it on my old Vista, but it increasingly annoys me... with its alert messages: no infection, but obsolescence of this or that (Fortunately, I hardly use it anymore except for storage and keep it for safety in case of my main PC failing.)

In short, 5, 10 years ago, Avast was undoubtedly an excellent tool, hardly intrusive, of quality to say the least the "best" among those offering free versions.... now I would certainly refrain from recommending it to anyone!

Hello,

I would like to add that when you want to download Adobe Acrobat DC for free from the official site, Avast is pre-checked and the page loads slowly so that we only see the "download" button. What about Adobe Updater that launches on Windows startup?

In fact, the software is so well designed that all you have to do is disable the internet connection for it to consider typing the letter x 15 times as a valid activation code.

Avast Driver Updater is a big scam!  The software claims that updates are necessary, but when I go to the list of drivers to do it manually, everything is up to date.
