How to update your drivers and when you need to

Don’t get led astray​


A number of download sites that will offer files pretending to be the drivers you need are hosting malware. They try to trick users into installing this malware on their system. Other sites combine the drivers you need in a bundle which, besides the driver, also install adware or a potentially unwanted program on your system.


And, unfortunately, a lot of the advertised driver updater software feels the need to exaggerate the scan results in order to get users to buy the software. Needless to say that paying for such software is a waste of your money. As is the case with a lot of potentially unwanted programs, they offer functionality that is already built into Windows.
