This program comes bundled with another legit application or tricks you to install it on your computer. After Driver Tonic gets into your system, it starts sending you unending notifications about issues detected on your machine.

Is Driver Tonic a virus?

While it is not malware, some antivirus software classify it as a Potentially Unwanted Program. Looking at the system report that Driver Tonic generates, you wouldn’t need keen eyes to notice that most of the issues are fake and non-existent.

Microsoft warns against using registry cleaners. The reason behind this is that they can lead to serious problems. If you already have Driver Tonic installed on your machine, head over to the next section below to learn how to get rid of it for good.

Find Driver Tonic from the list of installed application and right-click on it. Select Uninstall from the context menu and follow the on-screen instructions in the wizard to complete the uninstallation.

After completing the process, you can restart your computer to be sure you’re getting rid of it completely.
