Overview
Simple Driver Updater by Corel (SimpleStar.com) is recognized as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) by ESET and other antivirus vendors. Simple Driver Updater is self-promoted as a utility tool for Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10 that “safely updates and maintains your computer’s drivers;” a feature that is already included with Windows Operating Systems. The developer claims that Simple Driver Updater ensures your PC hardware is performing at optimum levels and eliminates the risk of downloading faulty or infected drivers.
A utility tool that automatically updates and installs drivers on your computer may sound like an appealing program; However, it costs money to use and as previously mentioned, updating drivers is already included with Windows OS.
There is a free version that is a scanner only and a full version that costs money that includes features to update all drivers and backup drivers if restoration is required.
Distribution methods
There are numerous ways that Simple Driver Updater can get onto a computer. The potentially unwanted program can be downloaded from the developer or distributors website, it can bundle with and be installed by freeware or malware, and more. Some free programs do not properly reveal that Simple Driver Updater may be installed along with it and some installation procedures may offer you custom or advanced installation options. It is recommended to view advanced and custom installation options carefully to stop any unwanted programs from being installed. Also, make sure to pay attention to license agreements and installation procedures when installing anything off the internet.
Simple Driver Updater utilizes malicious advertising networks and may bundle with free programs, malware, adware, spyware, and other threats such as Simple PC Optimizer, MyAppBox, and Win Magician. This is a major security concern because it could mean that Simple Driver Updater was installed by or alongside malware that that is a risk to user privacy and computer functionality.
