    CANNOT REMOVE A PROGRAM

    I downloaded and installed "DRIVERUPDATEPRO VERSION 10.0.0.0. This program keeps poping up and asks me to
    download drivers for a price. I went to remove programs and click on it to uninstall and get a message it has already
    been uninstalled but it has not. How do I get rid of it? It constantly pops up.

    Have you tried Revo Uninstaller, or MalwareBytes?

    Try removing it with Geek Uninstaller
    http://www.geekuninstaller.com/

    Did you run Malwarebytes and an antivirus scan also? There's a good chance your system got infected

    Malwarebytes did not uninstall it. Where do I find Revo Uninstaller

    If you have a 64 bit system, use the geek uninstaller in post #3.

    Also look in program files, as it may have a uninstaller in there.

    If Geekuninstaller doesn't do the trick, you might want to start a thread in the ICU. There could be other baddies lurking in there.

    might want to start a thread in the ICU Good idea as I found this.

    The application driverupdaterpro.exe, “DriverUpdaterPro Installation ” by oTweak Software has been detected as PUP.oTweak.Optional.Installer. This is a self-extracting archive and installer and has been known to bundle potentially unwanted software.

    Deco? Did you mean Revo?

    The free Revo only works on 32-bit Windows. That's why I recommend Geek Uninstaller now.
