A few of us are aware that Snappy Driver Installer icon Snappy Driver Installer is now in the hands of less than honest devs.

I wish I could say that I didn't see this coming.

Snappy Driver Installer Origin icon Snappy Driver Installer Origin is clean, I've used it several times before sharing here.

Drivers are a PITA, and SDI has been a godsend for me personally. Let's support the new dev and project as best we can.

Software did not work to restore my barcode scanner usb driver which worked on my old computer. The new computer did not and would not install the driver on its own. I tried other backup tools and this one which did not efficiently and quickly work fast or well for me. The tools that did not work are; Snappy Driver Installer, Unknown Device Identifier, Driver Store Explorer. The one that did work is "DriverBackup!" which is Free and opensource.

Does anyone know what kind of malware was included i SDI? I have been using it for a while without noticing anything. Scanned pc using Malwarebytes and Adv cleaner with no positive results.

The one we all want is the original open project which has had to change its name to Snappy Installer ORIGIN.

Read comments below for more information on why.

Do not get this, it is full of bundleware and not working at all. Get Snappy Driver Installer ORIGIN instead. I don't know why they changed the name but I suppose it is due to the commercial reasons...
