Slimware utilities is legitimate?
I was taken in slimware to update the drivers. Is - is this legitimate? Or is there a better and more confident upadate way.
Thank you
If the suggestions above do not help get rid you of this "bogus" program, please try Revo Uninstaller and MBAM (as suggested in the many related threads) which should take care of this PUPPY.
MMFA should detect as ' PUP. Optional.DriverUpdate.A'.
This > ' RemovePUP. Optional.DriverUpdate.A virus Removal Guide' may be useful.
AdwCleaner (a trustworthy anti-adware scanner) may also be a good idea to look for (and remove) for other Adware and other potentially unwanted programs (PUP), which may have been installed with or without your knowledge or consent.
Delete - not only "DriverUpdate' - but all 'SlimWare Utilities' that have perhaps been installed (SlimCleaner, for example?), with or without your consent.
I hope this helps.

SlimWare Utilities Cleaner has a toolbar...
I tells me that SlimWare equipped of a toolbar and what it highjacks to the home page and in the browser. I'm just fed up with highjacks and bars of tools that I don't want or need. Can I remove it? There is no info on their site so just maybe you guys can help me and give me a helping hand. I'm sure that many of us with 7 wins use their SlimWare utilities products and we are tired of what happens so many times... Thank you
I understand that they have some kind of collaboration with Microsoft and that's why I posted the question here.
Do you think it would be more effective to ask the people of SlimWare if they provide a toolbar, instead of asking people who may have no experience with SlimWare? https://www.slimwareutilities.com/Contact_us.php
Moreover, cleaners or PC speeders-to top as they are not all that much value. Most are smoke and mirrors.

Fortunately, there are online support. I asked for help, but found that it's the robot automatic answer. How can I get my money back?
OH my, I had the same problem before, software could not fix my computer errors effectively, I was disappointed by the software and the company, they are cheater, I couldn't get my money back until I went to the Bank and get them through the store service. You can recover the money from the Bank and hopely never use again. and I recommend all friends don't use it ever and ever to buy them.

Driver updates - drivers have been exceeded
I have Windows Vista on this computer and I was informed that my drivers were updated. Where can I get these drivers? I tried Slimware Utilities but kept shut down my system so I cancelled them. I don't know where to find these drivers.
Hello
Don't answer on 3rd party programs you download from the Net that tells you the drivers are up to date, etc.
You must obtain the Software Driver from your computer or hardware manufacturer, not through Windows Update (with the exception of Microsoft put updated material), as Microsoft normally does nor those have the most recent drivers available as Microsoft leverages the hardware manufacturer 3rd party to provide them.
Access the site on your computer or equipment manufacturing > Driver and Software Support Section > search your computer or hardware model number > then your operating system > locate the correct drivers > download and install.
Examples.

Help with 1.4 ErrorTeck (software application with RegTeck 1.6)
As I was reviewing my list of software program SlimCleaner (SlimWare Utilities), I noticed a software called "RegTeck 1.6" on my laptop. I pressed the button "Details" for more detailed information & that's what came on the next screen:
RegTeck 1.6
ErrorTeck 1.4 is designed to solve the problems with the health of your computer. It deals with cleaning gorithms and corrects errors.
WHAT THE HECK, WHAT THAT MEANS? It was not THE suggestions on what to do with this CLASS software.Other information on the list of software programs on RegTeck 1.6 are:
Editor: SolidQuest Inc.
Uninstall the path: "C:/Program Files (x86)\RegTeck\unins000.exe.
There was 1 a comment posted on the wall of 'rhonda1979' 01/01/2012 where the customer said:
You should keep ErrorTeck installed 1.4 because it is easy to get to if necessary.
WHAT THE HECK, WHAT THAT MEANS?Is there someone out there who can explain to me what these statements? Also... Do I really need to keep this software if I have some other anti-virus/malware installed on my laptop? (McAfee, Windows, Paretologic anti-virus Plus) Any help would be appreciated, really. Thanks for your time.

1. you remember when exactly you have installed this program?
2. don't you see that if this program is listed in the programs and features?
It seems that it is a fake program and installed without your notice. You can try to uninstall this program, if it is listed in programs and features.

Now more than one antivirus program can also create conflicts. It is ideal to keep an up-to-date antivirus on the computer.
I suggest also to run a virus scan and make sure you computer is protected and secure.

Microsoft Security Essentials re: Avanquest registry Utilities Professional
In February 2010, I installed registry Utilities Professional of Avanquest ("ORS"). I used it every week since that time without difficulty.
In June 2010, I installed Microsoft Security Essentials ("MMS") and in the initial round, the only recommendation was uninstall PRU which I agreed to.
He did uninstall the desktop icon that I previously used to manually run the ORS; However, in programs and features, the outermost Regions and a "Compatibility Patch" ORS are still reported.
Issues related to the:
- Why does want MSE uninstall ORS?
- Are there known issues with RUP?
- If RUP is a registry self cleaner, how I now access and reinstall the desktop icon?
My OS is Windows Vista Edition Home Premium, version 6.0.6002.2.2.0.768.3
Thank you.

Possible malware on Mac - is Adobe Flash Player install Manager application legitimate?
I have a macbook pro and I am running 10.10 OS. My browser is Safari 9.1.
Flash player NPAPI plugin version 21.0.0.242 is installed.
Flash PPAPI plugin player - is not installed.
Protection service 5/7/16-a identity to which I am subscribed sent a message saying that my Adobe password has been hacked. I changed the password.
05/15/16, 1 AM-while you browse using Safari a popup appears saying that it needed to update my flash player. (Stupidly), I clicked on "OK". The window asked if I wanted to install the MacGuard, MacSecurity and another application. I clicked on 'no' to each, then "continue." He then asked my administrator password to install Flash Player. Well I type the password, and I closed the window we'd send her to install some files which warned me that something was wrong. At the end of the installation has changed my Yahoo homepage. I ran Malwarebytes. Malewarebytes identified some suspicious files which I deleted. Then I restarted my computer.
I just noticed a file in my Utilities folder called Adobe Flash Player install Manager. It was created on 09/05/2016 and changed 12/05/2016. I don't remember installing this application. Also, I have "notify me to install updates" and I don't remember notification. Is Adobe Flash Player install handle (located in the folder Utilities-see below) an application legitimate or should I delete it? When I impulsively tried to remove a few minutes ago, asked me my admin password. Before we continue I hope get some forum members advice. It belongs in the utility folder or do I have to remove it using my Admin password?
Thanks a lot for any assistance.
Hello
Unfortunately, it does not appear you have received a notification of update of Flash Player false as MacGuard MacSecurity not the third-party products available for installation of Flash Player and the official Flash Player installer modifies not the browser's default homepage or the favorite search engine.
The official Flash Player installer has an application called Adobe Flash Player install by in the utilities directory, however, at this stage, it is difficult, at best, to know if this file was created with the Flash Player installer legitimate or not.
I have recommended to perform a clean uninstall. See the FAQ How to perform a "clean installation" of Flash Player in Mac OS X for orientation.
