Sucuri Posted February 25, 2017 Author ID:1104273 Share Posted February 25, 2017 (edited) Hello Steven, There are no .exe at this page: hxxp://www.drivers.com/download-drivers/ They are hosting their .exe with affiliates. It's a Driver scanner/updater. Please re-check. Thank you Edited February 25, 2017 by MysteryFCM Link disabled Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteryFCM Posted March 2, 2017 ID:1105530 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Sorry for the delay. I can see the links have now been removed, however, I am not convinced they aren't going to simply be put back if the block were removed, based on links to the page still existing both on the homepage and across pages such as; hxxp://www.drivers.com/update_acer_drivers_main/ If they weren't going to be put back, they should be linking directly to the manufacturers website (which is something they should've done in the first place) on the following and the pages it links to; hxxp://www.drivers.com/drivers-help/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisak Posted March 4, 2017 ID:1106283 Share Posted March 4, 2017 we have removed exe's from all individual pages and redesigned the site so that users looking for update tools are pointed to /download-drivers/ - the reason we have no products listed there yet is because we need to ensure that any product listed is not classified as a PUP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
