Driver Detective

I was having a go at cleaning up my computer this afternoon and downloaded a copy of Driver Detective, it gave me some useful information about what drivers are outdated, missing and up to date. Of course they wanted to charge me $40 to put everything right so I was wondering if anyone out there knew of a good free program that does the same.

Many thanks
Kevin

    If driver detective is telling you which ones are out of date, just go to the manufacturers website and download the new ones for free.

    You should never have to pay for drivers.
  • Hi,

    I use Driver Max regularly, and have had no problems, updates are free.

    If it isn't broke, don't fix it

    If you aren't having any driver issues, updating drivers isn't necessary.

    If you really want to update them, try the manufacturers website, or windows update
