Dont Use- Over Priced Salesmen
I downloaded Driver Whiz because my laptop wasn't operating with my printer. I then called the number which lead to a Tech.
who reviewed my computer programs and showed me a ton of programs which were 'stopped' on my computer. He went on to say he could fix all the errors for $200. I stated I'll get a second opinion. He then kept saying he already began to fix the problems (The screen resembled a heartbeat monitor).
I told him NO I didn't agree with the repair cost and to stop his repair. The Tech. said his lowest price would be $129. He wouldn't take no for an answer.
He kept trying to pressure me into purchasing NOW. When I told him I didn't agree with the pricing he tried to convince me it was too late for him to stop his repairs. I closed all of my computer windows I told him I wasn't interested then hung up the phone. I was finished dealing with him.
Or so I thought. He then opened up my notepad and began writing to me. Talk about pushy! Once again I told him no and closed the notepad.
I wouldn't recommend their service. They are Up Sale Salesmen.
The next day I spoke to a computer technician at work who informed I should never pay so much for a driver. Check with your printer manufacturer online fortheir Free printer drivers.

Resolved: Driver Whiz - Software Review from Hampton, Virginia
I heard back from company who charged my account for auto renewal of Driver Whiz for $29.99 plus international fees which I did not sign up for in April 2015. About two weeks after contacting them they reimbursed my account the renewal cost and fees.
No further issues. Complaint closed.
Update!!! Within 2-3 weeks of my original post about my account being charged $29.99 for auto renewal for Driver Whiz which I didn't agree to the company reimbursed my account for the full amount. No further issues.

Superb Customer Care. Instant FULL Refund.
I was desperate for a Driver for my old HP Printer in Windows 7. HP site was no help. But Google led me to Driver Whiz.
I was sure it would be a free download. But- like so many here- I had to pay or else! I was told I had several out-of-date Drivers on my PC. It failed to update any and gave me no Driver for my HP printer.
From my reading of the Reviews here I asked for a refund of my Money.
It came back within minutes.
So what can I say ? Concepts like "Drivers" give me high blood pressure & make me tense. So I have to first ask MYSELF questions before I criticize the Software.
But what can I say of Customer Service ? For me it was simply FANTASTIC. I am aged 68 and have had a Computer since the 1980s (Clive Sinclair/ Amstrad). I have never experienced such helpful Customer Service.
So- in conclusion- I must give these Guys 5 Stars for their Customer Service. In this universe and in this life one cannot ask for any more. Ad multos annos to Driver Support Update.
It is possible that Windows 7 does not support my old Printer. (Otherwise HP would have a Driver on their website- surely).
Stop planting viruses into my computer!
- Annoying ads
- Computer problems connected to ads
Preferred solution: Discontinuation of the ads and the troublesome reasons for the ads on my computer
Paid for them to download the software and driver
Preferred solution: full refund and get everthing back to where it was on my computer

Why would anyone allow access to a computer ?
Especially someone with an 800 number ?
You never told us what you were trying to do in the first place.
Sympathy level = -1
I made the same mistake recently, but sometimes it's kind of easy to do. I had Verizon FiOS for years.
A while back Verizon sold their email to AOL. Then Verizon sold FiOS to Frontier Communications (worst company ever, but that's another post). I had a problem with email, so, not knowing exactly where to turn, I called Frontier. They said I had to call AOL.
I said, can you give me their phone number. They said, just a minute, then gave me an 800 number to call, which I did. Now, thinking, because my internet service provider had given me the number, I believed I was talking to AOL support, an assumption the Indian guy confirmed. Except that I wasn't.
And, yes, I let the "AOL rep" login to my machine. I'll skip the rest, except to say that, upon further examination, I figured out the the Frontier rep had just looked on Google for the AOL number and given me an 800 number that was contained in AN AD.I don't know who's dumber, me or Frontier, but I'm the one put at risk.
And when I called Frontier to suggest they tighten up their tech support procedures so as not to give out phony phone numbers to their customers, they told me there was nothing they could do about it! (As I said above, worst company ever).
