Removed it from my PC.Told me my drivers were up to date and werent. 8 needed updating. My protection system lists it as an unsafe site.Although I dont usually use multiple fix programmes. I downloaded System Care ver. 7 and used its Driver Booster programme to download new drivers. This was more reassuring as it listed the date and reg/vers. number of update drivers and I had some control over the installation.Screen blinked a few times but they all installed correctly.Some site forums have had trouble with Driver Update. Hope this helps? Watch out many free downloads have trojans even respectable sites.!
