Excellent! Interface is very clean and very quick to identify the drivers. To download drivers is also very impressively speedy. I recommend. I use the same has 02 years.

So I decided to try out some kind of a "Driver Manager", even thou I know better I hoped this kind of software would have matured enough not to drown my computer in silly toolbars, adwares and annoying popup softwares.

At first it looked real promising. Clean interface. Easy to use. It finds my hardware and can download drivers. But once I started to "update" my drivers, the toolbars and adwares slowly started to fill up my computer. While the adwares and such doesn't come with the Driver Manager itself, they came in with the drivers, and the more I updated, the more spamwares and toolbars sneaked in.

After a "full" set of updates (Graphic, Sound, Printers, Motherboard, Harddrive controllers, etc.) my computer was so full of these toolbars, my websurfing turned into a horror show of blinking and smiling silly graphics.

As if that wasn't enough, the computer started to popup a "You're infected. Download our software now" message every now and then. Even thou I know I'm not infected.

Ended up with the classical Microsoft solution: "Format and reinstall".

This program does not back up all drivers, only backup the drivers that it updated

What is Driver Genius?

Driver Genius is a driver management utility that provides driver management and hardware diagnostics. It can backup, restore, and update drivers with a few clicks, scan for outdated or missing drivers, and offer the latest updates. It also cleans outdated drivers and hardware data, saves drivers as standalone installers, updates system runtime components, fixes display issues, resolves graphics driver crashes, and supports both light and dark user interfaces.

Features include Driver Update for updating drivers with a single click, Driver Backup & Restore for restoring all drivers after reinstalling Windows, and Roll Back Driver for restoring to a previous driver if needed. Driver Cleanup cleans invalid driver packages to free up disk space.

Clean Invalid Device Data cleans up data from replaced hardware. System Cleanup frees up disk space if your C drive is full. System Transfer Assistant gets your network working immediately after changing your operating system. Hardware Info lets you view your computer's hardware information and real-time temperature and voltage. The Offline Driver Update tool allows for quick driver installation and network connection restoration if your computer can't connect to the Internet.
