PC helpsoft keeps popping up when i plug anything into my USB port. It keeps trying to get me to register after telling me how many of my drivers are outdated. Is this part of Microsoft or has it just got on my machine somehow ??. Is it safe to use ?? Thanks

Hi Clement

I am Dave, an Independent Advisor, I will help you with this . . .

PC HelpSoft is not part of Windows or a Microsoft software product, it is one of those driver updater utilities and probably came bundled with some other software you installed on your PC

You do not need and should not use driver updaters, they can sometimes corrupt your Windows installation, open the Settings App (gear icon on your Start Menu), go to Apps, then scroll down to find that PC HelpSoft and uninstall it from there . . .

    I accepted the 30 days trial, already uninstalled this disastrous program. 

    Now I want to cancel the automatic payments after 30 days and do not know how to do.

    Can you please help me?

    Great that I could find a clear answer here. I almost ran it - but glad I looked into it first.

    I thought that if it WAS a Microsoft product, it would have been a part of the name! I imagine Windows 10 does its own driver updates, as is usual with their products.

    Uninstalled - thanks Dave
