   Unfortunately this is crippled crapware that can hose your system royally. Read the other reviews. So many options are disabled or limited. How can one want the Pro version when the free version sucks so bad?

   This crapware is really potential malware. They connect you without permission to an unregulated forum and if you are not an advanced user then you could easily download the wrong driver that could cause your computer to stop working or even worse a virus disguised as a driver.
   
   The rating system is very suspicious and just because it shows hundreds of idiots (I sometimes suspect they may not even be users but malicious hackers) say they downloaded a driver from another so called user that uploaded what they claim to be an updated driver, doesn't mean it is even an authorized nor appropriate driver for you device. The reports are also generated by these so called users so even if your drivers are up to date, if one person claims an update then it will deceive you into downloading whatever the file is. When they report hundreds of different drivers for one specific device then you really have to begin questioning what the hell they are doing.
   
   WARNING=And trust me from experience with a software company (formally called InboxCop that I sadly worked for) who's owner reported gleefully to me that they faked user comments (with hundreds of fake email addresses) to counteract negative comments and add positive comments to every release -- "myboy" is probably one of the guys that makes this crapware.
   
   AVOID THIS AT ALL COSTS!!!

   DriverMax 2009:
   -No 64bit support
   -They force you to register, and when you do, they display you exposed on a forum, without asking your approval
   -They spam you after you give them your address
   -popular video card/processors/etc section - clicking on it nothing happened, what is it anyhow?
   Too many problems, I am stopping here.

   Not very good. I prefer Double Driver which is also now portable....sometimes I need to back up drivers on more than one machine.

   Great program but I have a question. The program shows I have something like 25 drivers needing updates, but I thought I was keeping up better than that. Is it safe to upgrade as recommended?
   Thanks
