DriverPack Solutions is NOT a solution

For safety's sake I am writing this post from Linux because there are three objects from DriverPack Solutions embedded in my Windows 10 installation, and I can't get rid of them with Malwarebytes, Avast boot time scans, or with a file unlocker. So on booting into Windows, I disconnect the Ethernet cable, so that their DriverPack Notifier cannot call home.

The software installed itself unexpectedly when I visited the Epson website for some software downloads. Uninstalled it with REVO uninstaller, but not completely because, when I went to the Intel website for mobo updates, they activated themselves again and displayed an unremovable warning that I am inundated with viruses. Their app didn't show up in the Windows Task manager. Malwarebytes removed 91 PUPs from the company, but a rootkit scan and the Avast boot time scan found nothing.

Then I used "Everything" and found three instances of DriverPack files.

C:\System Volume Information\SPP\OnlineMetadataCache\E8FAA4F6-7910-4F8D-909F-EFC7CA6531E6
C:\System Volume Information\SPP\SppGroupCache\E8FAA4F6-7910-4F8D-909F-EFC7CA6531E6 DriverPackageInfo
C:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\Avast\SWCUData\Cache\InstallLocation\DriverPack Notifier

So I am going to try and delete them from Linux. Also, first of my concerns that this is a Russian company. Enough said.

Hi Chris,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused.

I see that you are getting this message
"A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
when you are trying to launch a game. This might be due to the corrupt display drivers.

Please answer the below questions to assist you better.

1. Does this issue occur to this particular game?

2. What is the make and model of the computer?

Follow the below steps and check if it helps,

I suggest you to uninstall the Display Adapter drivers from Device manager and install the latest drivers from the manufacturer website and check if it helps.

Follow the steps for the same.

• Press Windows Key + X key and click Device Manager.
• Expand ‘Display Adapters’.
• Right-click on the Display Adapter listed and click on ‘Uninstall’.
• Install the latest driver from the manufacturer website.

Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.

 

DriverPack Solutions is NOT a solution

There is one driver pack solution you can trust - it's called Windows 10!

Any driver pack is only as good (at best) as the information it has gathered which may be months or even years out of date.

They are snake oil, often riddled with crap/malware.

Windows 10 is brilliant at sorting drivers - so much so, you can take a drive from an old intel drive and put in an amd pc with completely different graphics/wifi systems, and in most cases it just works.

Occasionally, the vendor website has a more up to date driver not in the W10 database - update manually.
