We spent quite a bit of time online looking for the newest, safest driver downloads for our test machine, and it was incredibly time consuming and frustrating. That is why PC driver updater software like Driver Checker can be extremely helpful. This software can scan your system and provide you with OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) drivers within minutes.This driver updater provided above average scan results and could provide us with our needed Intel, Nvidia and Broadcom drivers. The scan found 20 out of 21 of our outdated drivers and offered new version updates for all of them.

In total, they related that they have drivers for 9000 unique PC devices. They update their driver database with new drivers weekly and their drivers are tested to work with Windows 2000, 2003, XP, Vista and 32- and 64-bit Windows 7.On the Driver Checker website they relate that they acquire their driver files from the original manufacture and they report that their drivers are safe and secure. However, we don't know how they test the driver files to make sure the files do not contain malware and are not corrupted. Their privacy policy does not relate how they transfer files securely, and it doesn't say if they scan files before they load them in their database. Though a third-party installation was not installed when we tested this software, we do not know their policy on third-party software such as optional toolbars. We asked them by email about their security policies, but they never answered our email inquiry.Online Driver Checker posts some helpful FAQs and help files on their website. You can also ask them questions via email. However, we emailed them twice – nine days apart – and never received a response. They didn't even send an automated response to tell us they received our email or that they would answer our questions soon. They do not offer chat or telephone support and do not offer information about the location of the company for postal inquiries. We're always wary of companies that don't offer multiple ways for customers to reach them.
