Windows 10: received app on pc called Driver Support.....nyone know if this is a safe website

received app driver support on my PC some time ago......never installed but constantly interrupting pc usage with prompts to check/install new drivers....believe it is not a Microsoft product, but is it a Microsoft sanctioned app and is it useful

:)

 

Serious Issue: How to know if a website is safe?

Virustotal has a separate process for evaluating the safety of a WEBSITE (URL) vs. evaluating the safety of a FILE.
I submitted only the URL for the website you posted. The analysis of the URL suggests that the site itself is clean.
That does not mean that the software itself that you might download from that site is safe.

I did not download, extract or submit for analysis the Prime95 software file itself.
In order to evaluate the file, you would need to download the zip @simrick provided the link to do that), then extract the executable file, and then analyze it by one or more of several different means before you run it/install it: comparing the file hashes, submitting the file to VT, scanning with your AV, etc.

Please re-read @simrick's replies for advice.

IOW = In Other Words.

Cheers,

B3 Phenom support

I checked gigabyte's site on my GA-M57 and it didn't say anything about b3 stepping update, but all of the x3 chips are b3 steppings, so just use the x3 support bios if available.

 

Receiving errors, System interrupts Deferred procedure calls and interrupt service routines

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

I appreciate if you could answer a few questions to narrow down to the issue.

• 
  What is the make and model of the computer?
  
• 
  When exactly you received this error?
  
• 
  Did you make any recent changes to the computer?
  
• 
  Which connection are you using to access internet? Wired or wireless connection?
  
• 
  Did you install any third party security application?
  

A deferred procedure call is an interrupt-handling mechanism in the Windows operating system where the drivers can reference when running certain processes. Deferred procedure call allows a task to be activated but not executed, from a highly prioritized
interrupt request level (IRQL).

As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to put the computer in Safe mode and check if you receive this error.
