I would not recommend using any of those driver apps. Same goes with registry cleaners, configuration managers, etc. You are giving some third party admin access to your PC so they can "fix" it. You have no idea what else they may be doing, how they are using your information, if there is spyware on your machine now, if the drivers are recent or correct. Use the manufacturer website to find drivers. It will be different for everyone, but manufacturer drivers will actually be supported. It's exactly like cracked software. Yeah, it may work, but if they were smart enough to crack the DRM, they were probably smart enough to do all sorts of stuff to your computer in the process!

I agree to you scott, but as my experience has gone with DRP.su, as shown in the screens, i have just unchecked the toolkit and any other software that comes bundled with it.

Its really a time saver and perhaps good to get beginners to focus on what needs to be done to move on, although get the drivers from the manufacturer site is better.
