The Driver Tuneup software is advertised at Driver-tuneup.com as top-tier system optimization program that can boost your system performance and improve its stability by helping you manage your drivers. The Driver Tuneup software is said to allow users to make backups of old drivers for recovery purposes and help users scan for updates, as well as install updates from trusted servers. The Driver Tuneup program comes in a trial version and a premium version depending on whether you pay for a license key. The trial version of Driver Tuneup allows users to set automatic scans for updated drivers and receive notifications about fixes and patches released by driver manufacturers. However, the activated copies of Driver Tuneup allows users to download updates and make backups of installed drivers only. You will be invited to acquire a license key for the Driver Tuneup from Driver-tuneup.com if you intend to use the app to its fullest.

You may want to know that the Driver Tuneup app by Driver-tuneup.com is a clone of the Pinnacle Driver Updater from Pinnaclepcperformance.com/driverupdater. Both programs are priced the same (19.95 USD), feature the same interface layout and perform the same operations. Additionally, the payment pages invite users to accept paying for the 'Advanced Password Manager' app, which costs 19.95 as well. The Driver Tuneup, a.k.a Pinnacle Driver Updater, software is created by Pcvark Software Pvt. Ltd. that is behind the Advanced PC Care and the CC Cleaner products as well. The company mentioned in this article is associated with various cases that are on borderline copyright infringement. The installer for Driver Tuneup is made with the INNO builder, and it may include a bloatware, which is why we advise users to explore the 'Advanced' option for the installer. It is recommended that you read the Terms of Service for the Driver Tuneup and the Pinnacle Driver Updater very carefully, as you are billed for running a licensed copy of both apps annually. You may be charged from 11 USD to 15 USD in the first six months while using the Driver Tuneup/Pinnacle Driver Updater and then the price rises to 29.95 USD per month. PC users who add the 'Advanced Password Manager' app to their baskets should take into consideration that the app is billed annually as well and features a separate billing plan. The premium version of the 'Advanced Password Manager' costs 9.97 USD a month for the first six months and then 19,95 USD per month for the next six months.

The Driver Tuneup/Pinnacle Driver Updater software is deemed as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that does not offer advanced features compared to the Device Manager, which is built into the Windows OS already.
