Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Quickly scan your system for out-of-date drivers with this easy-to-use program. Driver Updater Pro's wizard-based interface needs very little instruction. Novices will find the app almost effortless to use. Expert users will like the program's scan speed, but may wish for a bit more information and flexibility.
On start, the app displays select processor, memory, and operating system information. All that is required of the user is to press the Scan Now button. The utility quickly scans the system to list all drivers. Each driver is listed under categories with icons for additional information, update status, and a link to download an update if needed. The information available for each driver varies, but most offer little more than the manufacturer name, driver name, and version. With a click, users can choose to see only drivers in need of update. Links to update drivers are disabled in the program's demoware.
Oddly, Driver Update Pro doesn't use the system date and time, but is fixed on a European time zone. It's too bad the program didn't allow a single download to let users test that function, but otherwise this app greatly simplifies finding drivers in need of updating.
