Deceiving domain - drivethelife.com
Drivethelife.com is the website delivering shady Windows system tool Driver Talent. The website claims that the application can help to manage files and drivers. Features listed on the page claims that outdated, missing, damaged drivers can get repaired and updates. The tool should help update drivers and even manage your backups, reinstallation, and uninstallation.
However, instead of supporting these functions, the program delivered via Drivethelife.com shows redirects and commercial content that promotes other suspicious applications. Besides that, when you install Driver Talent, or it gets installed like any other PUP on the device, you get a list of issues with your system files, drivers, and applications.
Pre-determined results are not related to your device and cannot be fixed because of that fact. Even though the tool costs money, there is nothing valuable about the application. The pro version that should repair the damage and update the needed parts also is useless, so you can lose up to $30 when you believe all the claims and purchase the program yourself. This is the adware-type intruder that eventually can lead to more serious issues when the additional PUP or malware gets on the system.
