Following a YouTube link I'm getting - apparently from "Ads by Google" - "Windows XP Drivers Latest Download. Microsoft Certified. (Recommended)" from "Windows-XP.DriverUpdate.net".
I wouldn't follow this link, but wonder if it is suspicious. :undecided

Just did a google search on the weblink you posted. interesting site gave me more info on it.

gives you more info about the website how much they earn when you go there and other links they use to get you to go to that site.
Best way to update your drivers.
graphics drivers
nvidia.co.uk
ati.co.uk
motherboard drives. go to the manufacturers website directly or use the motherboard serial which will have the drivers for all the USB / Ethernet, sound, onboard graphics for your computer.
or you could visit sites like majorgeeks.com / softpedia.com / www.betanews.com to download newer drivers.
I would also suggest using firefox with adblockplus and blocking google.ads0 -
