    "Great program. Beats Windows' checker"

    June 13, 2012  |   By Drake_Master

    Pros

    Fast scanning. Quickly found 5 outdated drivers (well, 21 if you count drivers in sets seperately)
    When manualy checking for updates using windows, it said those drivers were up to date. Also used intel's checker and it found no out-dated intel drivers (wheras this program found a set of 17 of them)
    Downloads and runs installers.
    Clean, user friendly interface.
    Easy backup and restore drivers to a location of your choice.
    Interrupted driver downloads automatically resumed.

    Cons

    Installer is download-and-install type, doesnt ask if and where to put shortcuts and launches browser after install.
    Program asks if you want to restart the computer after each driver update, and if you choose yes and restart the program it remembers what you haven't updated yet but you still need to rescan.
    Closes to tray.

    Summary

    Very good updating program that updates drivers that Windows itself can't find newer versions of. Quick, simple, safe.
