I'm reading all new comments so don't hesitate to post a question about the file. If I don't have the answer perhaps another user can help you.
To my surprise, this program began running yesterday and I left my computer on so it could run its course. Whatever it is doing it is taking a long time as it been at it for 24 hours continuous. Your information convinces me that the program is legitimate, as indeed I have found that all Iobit programs are. I've had Driver Booster on my computer for years.
I'd like to know what this program is actually doing. It is taking 30% of my CPU while it does it.
Thankyou Roger. Your site is superb!
