Remove Driver Support by PC Drivers HeadQuarter...

Driver Support is a software program developed by PC Drivers HeadQuarters LP. The most common release is 10.1.4.39, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. During setup, the program registers itself to launch on boot through a Windows Schedule Task in order to automatically start-up. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The primary executable is named driversupport.exe. The setup package generally installs about 27 files and is usually about 15.16 MB (15,897,552 bytes). The installed file Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.Updater.ActivationProcessors.dll is the auto-update component of the program which is designed to check for software updates and notify and apply them when new versions are discovered. Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 10 and Windows 7 (SP1). While about 94% of users of Driver Support come from the United States, it is also popular in United Kingdom and Australia.
