SECTIONS

To create a great software product, the customer experience must be the focus. While providing comprehensive personal computing driver solutions over the last 19+ years, Driver Support has made it a primary goal to put our customers and their PC needs first. Whether it’s helping every registered customer install their first driver absolutely free or, our easy to use Refund Policy or, our top tier customer support; our goal is to help users maintain their computer device drivers in good working order easily and safely.

Driver Support with Active Optimization provides quick, easy, and safe access to all of the latest drivers for the user’s Windows PC. Saving customers time and minimizing the possibility of installing the wrong Windows driver; which could cause a system crash. All drivers offered by Driver Support with Active Optimization are available free of charge from the respective manufacturer’s websites. Full Driver Support with Active Optimization registration requires a subscription fee, enabling customers to use the tool in a fully unlocked mode and keeping the system updated regularly as well as monitoring for specific plug and play events where a driver may be needed.

Below you will find our outline regarding what we deem as our core software principles. If you have questions on anything below or would like to contact us please email support@driversupport.com.

Transparent Installation & Disclosures

When installing Driver Support with Active Optimization the message is clear and the user has complete control of the installation process. We do not force any user to download the software nor do we automatically download without the user’s permission. We do not bundle any third-party software without the user’s knowledge or permission. While we do provide drivers for almost all major manufacturers we do not imply that we are directly affiliated with these companies and users may obtain these drivers free of charge from the respective manufacturer’s support websites. Driver Support does however makes it easy for users that want to save time and guesswork in finding the right driver for their PC devices. Having the correct drivers may help improve the computers performance and usability (including add new features as provided by the updated drivers) however there is no guarantee every machine will see the same results or noticeable performance improvements.
