which begs the question as to how these people with limited means can purchase this piece of software that really does nothing but  point the user towards a already free download? Additionally the question remains as to why they would want to update the machines these "govt controlled internet cafes" or how they would afford any form of removable media large enough to store these drivers to bring to their home PC. (I might also add that the government of these countries simply regulates the ISP and imposes country-wide bans on certain sites- thus the control of internet cafes is purely a tertiary effect, and people there DO have internet connections in their homes.

Driver-Chat
I propose, you stop that DriverAgent BS, because you may be confusing some newbies reading this thread.
It's simply useless application. Period.

hmm, this reminds me of that similar thread you started Broni, about that scanner... forget the name...

I find it odd how only the scam-type programs have people trawling the net looking for people that don't like it and trying to change their minds completely unsuccessfully... In fact, it's probably better that I forgot the name, goodness knows that they'll hit on it and then we'll be dealing with two BSing trawlers.

    No one has to pay for it as Driveragent has given me access so that i can give the drivers found by the scan for free as well as i have full access to their archives.

      I'm the one that removed your first link so please don't start name calling. That's not a very good business practice.

      I'm being nice and looking into your software and possibly leaving the link. So far so good.

      Driver Chat is fully independent of Driver Agent and DriverGuide.The services offered here are merely provided voluntary and Driver Chat will not be held responsible. The use of the services offered rests entirely on you, the site visitor. However, the operators of DriverChat.com will do anything to solve your hardware problems.

      also, none of the links are suspicious, none of the software links are either- and there are no ads on the site, either.


      regardless- it's still advertising the site- generally best to get the admins permission before doing that; he's usually cool about stuff like that though.

      Can you explain why the driveragent_488.exe is identified by Dr. Web as a BACKDOOR.Trojan?

        interesting... Not technically on the "driver-chat" site, though, more precisely on a site that it links too. Which should ideally make one question the existence of said link...

        That isn't true. The software is from http://www.phoenix.com/en/Consumer/default.htm and it is NOT a free service. Like the others have said. You are trying to capitalize on something that is free from any computer/hardware manufacturer.

        Your an affiliate of DriverGuide,com/Pheonix Technologies. You can't advertise as an affiliate on Computer Hope without consent from the owner. http://www.computerhope.com/cgi-bin/mail.cgi

          some av's do find it as a "trogan" because in the definition of the word it is. It looks at the workings of your machine to find out what you have in it. The same as M$ updates are trogans and as you AV's are also as they all look thru your system.
