DriverAgent Plus

Posted: October 23, 2020

DriverAgent Plus is not a threatening application, and it can be somewhat helpful if you opt to purchase the full version for $19.95. However, there are some issues about the methods being used to propagate and promote the DriverAgent Plus software. It may be present in low-quality software bundles that users may come across while downloading freeware from websites other than the publisher's official page. The installation of DriverAgent Plus is entirely optional, but the opt-out or opt-in offer to install it may sometimes go unnoticed, and users might introduce the DriverAgent Plus software to their computers accidentally. Having an unknown application bombarding you with notifications is probably the reason why so many users are worried about DriverAgent Plus' presence on their computers.

In short, DriverAgent Plus' primary feature is to check your device for driver updates and inform you if you need to update any of your drivers. However, the report with recommended updates that DriverAgent Plus generates may sometimes include out-of-date notifications that are not really necessary – a quick scan of this tool may report dozens of pending updates.

If the users want to update the drivers automatically, they will be prompted to upgrade to the full version of DriverAgent Plus. Users who purchase the product will end up receiving the ability to update their drivers automatically, so it is safe to say that DriverAgent Plus can work as intended. However, it is undeniable that DriverAgent Plus' creators use some dodgy marketing practices to get more users exposed to their software. If you are happy with DriverAgent Plus's services, it is perfectly safe to continue using it.

If you did not permit DriverAgent Plus' installation knowingly, and you do not wish to use this program, then you should take care of its removal immediately. The best way to do this is to run a suitable PC security tool capable of dealing with Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs).
