On the basis of the recent emails about using SlimDriver to update drivers, I downloaded the program. Found 14 out-of-date drivers, which were updated. Installed as part of this program was FixCleaner . I use RegPro on a regular basis, as well as CCleaner and MalawareBytes. I don't see a need to use this FixCleaner as it appears to do the same thing as RegPro and others. Any comments on FixCleaner? Wanda

That must be a new addition, it wasn't on the version I downloaded.  I wouldn't have a need for it as I am happy with CCleaner and Glary Utilities.  Cathy Champion      Fenton, MO 63026 (near St. Louis)   Make yourself familiar with the angels and behold them frequently in spirit; for without being seen, they are present with you.   - St. Francis De Sales --- On Thu, 3/21/13, Wanda Ridge <[email protected]> wrote: On the basis of the recent emails about using SlimDriver to update drivers, I downloaded the program.  Found 14 out-of-date drivers, which were updated.

We were warned about other software wanting to download when downloading Slimdriver and it appears that you must have clicked on the Fixcleaner which was a pop-up while the download was in progress and it had a prominent button to download now. It could be confusing as it appeared that one needed to click the button to get the Slimdriver but it was not necessary. It is a sneaky way to get you to use another program. I saw it and ignored it when I downloaded Slimdriver, but had I been a little sleepy I may well have downloaded it too.

Okay, that explains it. I recommend uninstalling the entire business and then downloading and again installing SlimDriver. I ended up with an AVG browser page which is okay, I use AVG, but some will possible be startled by it. I saw it and didn't remove it because I wanted to see what it was. I use four startup pages on Chrome, now I have five <laughter>. Elaine If the police arrest a mime, do they tell him he has the right to remain silent?
