HI
I am really confused I have tried to update some PC drivers but at various sites they point you to "Driver Robot".
I have tried to research on the net but I am none the wiser.
Some users say it OK others say its a scam.
Who are right please help me make the right choice.

Update them manually.

There is no reason to purchase something that you can do for free and is of dubious quality.

Most drivers don't need to be updated until you run into a problem.

HI
Thanks for the reply.
One of the reasons I was asking about"Driver Robot" was I was considering upgrading to Windows 7 and I was trying to make it easy to get the correct drivers.
I found that some of driver sites are pointing you towards "Driver Robot".My motherboard is a MSI 7091.

Last week i was trying to find Win7 drivers for my HP Laserjet 4L's, i stumbled onto Driver Robot more than once, it just cries out 'dodgy scam' and i did read some stuff on it somewhere, unfortunately i can't remember the web links on it. Anyways, as per dailun, don't fall for it.
In my case i don't/won't use Windows Auto Updates hence why i can't find drivers as they're only supplied via Windows Update.
