Driver Tonic并不是真正意义上的病毒。它声称是一个 PC 系统优化工具，可以帮助您调整计算机的性能，特别是通过优化Windows 注册表、^{(Windows Registry,)}更新驱动程序、提供Web 保护^{(Web Protection)}、启动管理器^{(Startup Manager)}等。

该程序与另一个合法应用程序捆绑在一起，或者诱使您将其安装在您的计算机上。Driver Tonic进入您的系统后，它开始向您发送有关在您的机器上检测到的问题的无休止的通知。

有了持续的通知，当您最终决定寻求Driver Tonic的帮助时，它会扫描您的计算机系统，并且如您所料，会在您的系统上带来一堆 紧急^(urgent)问题。为了修复您的系统，您必须购买该程序的许可版本。

Driver Tonic 是病毒吗？

大多数用户不知道Driver Tonic是如何安装在他们的系统上的，因为它是通过您下载的免费软件偷偷进入的。虽然它不是恶意软件，但某些防病毒软件将其归类为潜在有害程序^{(Potentially Unwanted Program)}。查看Driver Tonic生成的系统报告，您不需要敏锐的眼睛就能注意到大多数问题都是假的和不存在的。

微软警告不要使用注册表清理程序。这背后的原因是它们会导致 严重的问题^{(serious problems)}。如果您的机器上已经安装了Driver Tonic，请转到下面的下一部分，了解如何彻底摆脱它。

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.
