guru3d driver cleaner?!?!

brutusmaximus · Jun 4, 2007, 11:17 PM

Just in case you missed this, looks like guru3d has ripped the older driver cleaner application and rebadged it !! What a rip off. I always thought these guys would release their granny in a frock if they thought it would be downloaded, but they lost all credibility for me now. Disgusting. That guy [COLOR=#808080]Hilbert Hagedoorn [/COLOR]seems to have no ethics.

Go get them guys, DH wrote driver cleaner, its pretty bloody awful you would spend years developing this for another site to steal the code and name.

Heh yeah that looks like something we have allready seen

But I doubt it's better then the "real" thing.

imo,

that's a big no no they just did....

They just posted it being called that.
Up until today it was called XDC and was written by a guy not affiliated with the site. They probably just sponsored his development and gave him a little extra to change the name from XDC. In either case it is allot different than DHDCpro, there is no installer and I guess there is no need to boot into safe mode.

you didn't have to boot into safe mode with dh driver cleaner either, it was just highly recommended.

I guess we'll see what's up, it sure does look similare to the older style driver cleaner though.
