Quick Driver Installer

The Quick Driver Installer advertises itself as a rather convenient application that will allow users to quickly and easily update or install the drivers on their computers. However, when the application is installed on the device, users will quickly realize that the Quick Driver Insllater also possesses adware functionality. Indeed, the application will start generating various, unwanted and intrusive advertisements.

The advertisements could appear as banners, notifications, pop-ups, etc. Furthermore, it is possible for advertising materials to be injected into sites visited by the users. Typically, advertisements associated with such dubious sources should be approached with caution. Users could be shown advertisements for questionable or outright unsafe destinations running online tactics, fake giveaways, spreading additional PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs), etc.

Another risk usually associated with having a PUP active on your computer or device is having your data monitored and exfiltrated to a remote server. PUPs are infamous for monitoring the users' browsing activities and collecting numerous device details. In some cases, applications of this type also may try to obtain sensitive information from browsers' autofill data. If the PUP is successful, users may have their account credentials, payment information, banking data and other confidential information compromised.
