Don't Trust Driver Whiz
I just build my PC and it was working great with a best window experience index 5.9. Then I bought a week latter I bought Joysticks game controller.
then I wanted to buy driver just for the game controller I bought the driver from Driver Whiz and paid 29.00$ . During the process of instalation they asked me to access my computer and I allowed them . Instead of activating my purchase they corrupted my pc and they toled me to buy another service from them With more than 359.00 $ .I declined the offer and after that an error pops up every time I used my computer so they purposely harm my system so that I can buy another product from them which is very bad for a. business .
I had to reboot my pc. Even after that the problem didn't go away when I try to uninstall it I couldn't . It took me the whole day to fix my pc .so this made me very very mad I was wondering what other people are saying about Driver Whiz. So I found a lot of people who had bad experience with the Dreicer whiz.
I didn't call for refund which I will and figure out what they say.
But In general driver whiz people Re very very very very bad . If you are new and got a chance to read this coment you better try to avoid them at any cost
Rip Off !
BEWARE: AVOID AT THEM ALL COSTS
Driver Whiz:My experience
I paid for(Paypal instant)and DL'd this software because I was having terrible problems with a vid card driver,the ad said DWhiz could help.Let it do a scan for outdated drivers(2nd mistake)and it came back with some updates for me.Of course my vid card driver was not on the "Need to update"list even though I knew my installed driver was outdated.
My sound driver was listed so I thought I would try out "Driver Whiz" and let it remove and install the new driver that it provided.Needless to say, upon completion my sound did not work.Manually removed the "Driver Whiz" provided driver and re-installed old sound driver and voila,sound.
Contacted customer support and tried asking them if they could help with my ATI video card driver problems and all they did was continuously point me to an article on how to update my VIA chipset.What a bunch of freekin monkeys,pound on the keyboard,throw a little ***,ahhh.good day!The VIA chipset article wasn't even hosted by the "Driver Whiz" folks.
So went through a couple more trials and had the same effects(lan chip drivers,mobo chip drivers...) and "Driver Whiz" did everything in its power to break my system!Contacted PP and opened a dispute,respectfully asking the "Driver Whiz" folks for my money back, all with no response.It turns out that PP will not protect you if the purchase is for downloaded software, or for the lack of a product to perform as expected if it is a "virtual" product.
So I'm hosed by "Driver Whiz" and PayPal.But please be warned, "Driver Whiz" is a garbage product.All it did was cost me money and headache.
Registration fee wasted, unable to use any service
Scam to buy additional services by help desk.
Bad, Bad,Bad

Driver Whiz - Uninstall???
I agree that DW is a piece of ****, but when you try to uninstall, it asks to make even more registry changes. I don't think so. Now I just want to get rid of it and cut my losses. ($40) Does any one know how to clean this garbage off of my computer?
It makes me suspicious about what other changes it has made. Does it phone home at night?
Why would these people cheat you when you have already paid them?
Why would they make it difficult to uninstall?
Please reply to this thread if you know answers to these questions.
I guess there is one born every minute.

Have managed to get through to technical services to deal with my issues. Went through the chat option.
I too had the same experience 're the initial purchase but was talked into spending in the end £400
It was fine for a little while then the same issues stared to arise and I cannot contact them to have it resolved and the numbers given are now coming up as not recognised.
I am a pensioner and it is a lot of money to lose and I am so upset but don't know what or how to get my money back. Have Messaged their technical department 3 times with no response!! And how an I to contact them for the supposed 3 monthly overhaul ?
