Today I am gonna offer you guys a tutorial of how to uninstall DriverMax.
DriverMax, I can tell is kind of convenient. It is a tool allows you to download the latest driver updates for your computer. No more searching for rare drivers on discs or on the web or inserting one installation CD after the other. Just create a free account, log in, and start downloading the updates that you need. Many people would buy thier offcial saying when seeing the word “free”. So, I figure there are tons of people using this program. Anyway, nothing is perfect. There must be some reasons why people want to uninstall it. If there was a perfect application that no one would want to remove it, what would I do?
So, as I have already told you about DriverMax, I definitely tell you the ways to delete it. Now, shall we get this party started?

Breif Introduction of DriverMax

Though it is a convenient tool, there are some annoying problems you can’t aviod.
DriverMax (DriverMax 7 by Innovative Solutions) may be considered a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by many security vendors and referred to as a a non-beneficial Microsoft Windows program. Security analysts have claimed that these types of programs are not necessary and realistically utilize aggressive marketing tactics in order to get user’s to sign of for marketing mailing lists or purchase software that performs tasks that are already provided for free on a Microsoft Windows Operating System.
Furthermore, programs like DriverMax by Innovative Solutions utilize marketing techniques that bundle them with additional PUPs, including adware, as well as potential malware. These programs are often blacklisted or flagged by top security vendors. It should also be noted that this program may bundle with and install alongside legitimate software as pictured below.

Once installed, DriverMax may perform a scan or persuade a user to perform a scan. Once the scan submits results, it will demand that users create an account in order to use the program.
To create an account, the program will asks for personal information such as your full name and email address. This may lead to unwanted email spam and other unwanted messages. Programs similar to DriverMax 7 like MyPCBackup or notorious for sending continuous email spam promoting a wide list of contractors.
Most programs  have same kinds of disadvantages, but personal information security is pretty important, so I think I can’t live with this personal imformation issue. That’s why I would choose to uninstall DriverMax.
