BEWARE!! of the malware/virus that comes packed with Snappy Driver Installer (DriverPack Online)

Показать описание
I tried Snappy Driver Installer for installing some of the drivers for my very old Dell laptop on windows 10 (as manufacturer provided drivers only till windows 8).

When I looked up I found Snappy Driver Installer is open-source and is very safe to use. But when I actually installed their software and ran, HOLY SHIT!! it comes packed with a lot and lots of bloatware and potential malware.

Like -
Chrone browser (**Not Chrome), X-Firefox, Opera, Cent Browser, Searcherbar
Facebook ....... (these browsers look like they are not from original publishers)

Luckily it was a fresh windows install for me, so I was able to factory reset without loosing any of my personal data. Also I found very little information about the bloatware that comes with this and no body is really taking about it.

Though I would share my installation video, so that at least others could exercise caution and be aware of the potential harm in using this.

That's a fake website impersonating Snappy Driver Installer. The actual website is called Snappy Driver Installer Origin
