High volume counts usually represent a popular threat but may or may not have infected a large number of systems. High detection count threats could lay dormant and have a low volume count. Criteria for Volume Count is relative to a daily detection count.

DriverUpdaterPro is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) developed and published by oTweak, a US-based company whose name is associated with the development of several other programs that have been classified as PUPs. DriverUpdaterPro is advertised as a unique computer utility that allows users to identify and update outdated drivers quickly. DriverUpdaterPro may be compatible with a long list of hardware devices, and its developers claim that DriverUpdaterPro can always download the latest reliable version of the device driver software. However, they may forget to mention that the free version of DriverUpdaterPro isn't able to download updates – it only displays numerous alerts and notifications that advise users to purchase the full version of DriverUpdaterPro if they want to have their drivers updated automatically. DriverUpdaterPro may be downloaded from the oTweak's official Web page, but most users who find this software on their computers may not remember agreeing to download DriverUpdaterPro.
The unexpected installation of DriverUpdaterPro may occur because this program may be found in software bundles – cleverly prepared software packages whose purpose is to offer users to install 3rd-party software. However, these bundles may use misleading promotions and installation instructions to trick users into agreeing to install a dubious piece of software unknowingly, which may change their computer's behavior drastically. The installation of DriverUpdaterPro may lead to the appearance of nagging alerts, notifications, and warnings that remind you to pay for a full license and have your drivers updated automatically. These messages may interrupt all your computer activities, and the only way to get rid of them is to either pay for DriverUpdaterPro's full version or remove the program from your computer. If you don't agree with the utilization of the automatic driver updater, then we advise you to remove DriverUpdaterPro by using a potent anti-malware application immediately.
