Desktop Improver is a suspicious application that you may see being promoted as a useful and helpful utility that can help to improve your computer's performance and stability. Supposedly, Desktop Improver achieves this by scanning the software drivers installed on your computer and updating any outdated drivers. Technically, this should lead to a performance boost, but driver updates may have little to none impact on the computer's performance. Furthermore, Desktop Improver's functionality is questionable, and users shouldn't be surprised if Desktop Improver fails to function as promised. Another dubious thing about this application is that its primary distribution technique relies on software bundling. Desktop Improver may be offered as an optional installation to users who download particular freeware and shareware applications.
Desktop Improver is considered to be a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by anti-virus vendors, so users who don't want this application on their computers can rely on popular anti-malware software to help them to remove Desktop Improver. Apart from scanning the computer's drivers, Desktop Improver also may affect the Web browser's performance by injecting unwanted advertisements like pop-ups, banners and in-text links. If you find Desktop Improver to be useless and annoying, then you should immediately remove it since there's no point in keeping the software installed on your computer.
