camerongray, actually I agree with you. The OP is one of those would want to try another way to resolve a problem. So I directly him to the best source I could find that was mostly free of ad-ware.
Here is a blurp about one of the freeware thingsw they have:
DriverMax is a new tool that finds and downloads the latest driver updates for your computer. No more searching for rare drivers on discs or on the web or inserting one installation CD after the other. Just create a free account, log in, and start downloading the updates that you need
You can also export all your current drivers (or just the ones that work ok) to a compressed file. After reinstalling Windows you will have everything in one place!
Most of the situations when Windows is running slower are caused by faulty driver installations. Windows stores all versions of older drivers just in case you want to go back; sometimes it messes up older versions with more recent ones. The Driver Backup option will only export the drivers you select by copying the needed files to a compressed ZIP file.
After reinstalling Windows all drivers will be back in place in less than 5 minutes - sparing you of searching, inserting disc after disk and losing precious time. The Driver Restore option allows you to install all the drivers that you exported earlier. The entire operation might take up to 5-10 minutes.
Just one single computer restart will be required after all drivers are reinstalled!
From the above, this is not just another driver scam. It is an effort to automate the process of keeping your drives in a place where yuu can find them when you need them. This can be very helpful for a n Administrator that has to maintain a number of PCs of the same make and model.
Again, I personally prefer to keep my drivers on a CD, SD card or backup set. And I only download drivers from the original site. Still, if the OP wants to tr trust a third-party, that has to be his choice.
Just want to help.
