Slimware Utilities

Just Now

I bought the SlimWare package for $19.95 because the ad said it could find/replace my android phone contacts, texts, photos, etc. after an accidently restore to factory specs when the sequence of buttons were hit while removing it from a hard case. After 70 minutes of a slow talking rep about updating 6 drivers on a 5 month old desktop, He explained I had to pay another $49.95 to have the tech department restore my phone. Then the drivers fix does not work, see pic.
Slimware is just another scam outfit to get you to pay for more services. I later found ways to do it for free, but will take sometime to get all the apps back in place (and to remember them all). Their ad implied I would have my phone back the way i had is set.

If I have had slim war driver update for a few months I decided to cancel it and now my laptop does not work it is obvious they've done something to my computer I'm going to seek an attorney to file a lawsuit against this company. As you can see a lot of things are closed so I cannot under what to do. These people should be closed permanently. They are criminal.

Jackson was the person I had help me install Slimware drivers. He asked to let him do this remotely. He said my computer NEEDED the premium service $49.97 on top of the 19.97 I paid. When I told him NO I'm on a fixed income he badgered me over and over, I said NO! He was clearly very angry and cut me off. I cancelled the next day. I believe this could be a scam. I'm calling the BBB and several other resources to report this. I better get my refund back in 7-10 days.

I had started out having a small issue with blue screen errors in which I would shut down the computer and restart, then it would run fine for the rest of the day. So, I had a few spare hours and wanted to resolve this issue and give it a tune up so I purchased the online tech support through Slimware and the rep that I spoke to said they would have my computer up and running with no issues in a few hours. Well, after 5 techs that are from another country and close to 2 days! The issue was never resolved and the blue screen errors got even worse, my screen became pixelated, and my computer would barely boot up.
By the end of it all, I had to go out and buy a new computer and spend more money and time transferring files to an external hard drive to try and save what info that I could.
Called Slimeware on 3/20/21 to request a refund and the rep said they couldn't because they have a 48 hour cancellation policy.
If I could give them a zero star rating I would!

I accidentally downloaded Slimware/DriverUpdate. I cannot remember exactly what I was searching for and found it. However, SOMEHOW, Slimware "snuck in" and when I hit the download button it was Slimware that I downloaded and not the software that I had researched. This is an awful way to do business. Even more disgusting is how it penetrates your computer and good luck trying to remove it. I uninstalled the program but this did not work. I have researched on how to remove this software and found some suggestions. Today is the second time that I have had to do a clean up of my registry to get rid of this software. I thought I had caught it all last week but lo and behold got another pop up today from DriverUpdate telling me that an error occurred while updating drivers on my desktop computer. Last week I performed a registry clean of anything with "slimware" today I did the same for anything with DriverUpdate. Not 100% sure that this will get rid of this garbage!

Purchased driverupdate online as was having problems then it came up with a message saying pc not suitable? Contacted support who spent ages trying to fix then telling me it was a problem with Windows Update which took forever when finished restart and all should be resolved. Well updates finished, restarted and found I had lost my network adapter driver in the process. No help was given on contacting them a second time and I had to resort to doing a Windows Restore (which miraculously gave me back my missing driver) have asked for a refund but not holding my breath.

This web site should be totally avoided at all costs! They are affiliated with driver update and fix cleaner and the technical support staff are rude, obnoxious and totally unreliable in fixing computer problems and issues. They are famous for taking remote access and leaving a paying Customer out to dry-meaning the
Problem you had from the start will only get worse if you allow these so called computer JERKS any access to your computer for any reason! Save your money and find a reputable company which these web sites are not! You will end up spending more money to fix a problem they create! AVOID *******@driverupdate.net and their telephone number of *******197 as they will never return your calls and the only way to obtain a refund is to raise HELL
With the bank that accepts the payments for these low life cheating and scamming vendors to date!

Very misleading dialogue on the phone they indicate that they can solve your problems and then connect you to a closer that asked for $249 after i paid the $29.95 to repair the problem. It is misleading and they are cheering in the background when someone closes a sale i can hear it on the phone. They are smooth and canned but very good a conning you. They are in India and are ripping off Americans every minute. Do not buy from them.

I had 7 out of date drivers I paid a tad over £20 including vat and a Guy sent me a link I was now remotely controlled by somebody else who cut and pasted a code into my license to save me doing it but then he found a couple of faults that he could clear but I would have to sign up for a plan which was £45 plus 20 a month which I said no he was quite pushy and dropped the 20 a month and just wanted 45 but I said thanks goodbye and cut the connection I have run the programme and installed 6 drivers but one said it would not install yet it has scrubbed my sound driver off and when I go to the restore point I just get a blue screen and the words initialising please wait so I will have to go to my computers website to get my driver back, Now I said no I wonder how many end up saying yes because he was quite a salesman

The support over the phone was rude and spoke so fast couldn't understand her she was hateful called me stupid and was treating me like I was dum she was just pure hateful no help at all
