Device drivers generally either come with our operating system, or we install them from a CD. But, like any software, drivers are upgraded and updated, by the manufacturers, to remove bugs, add extra functionality to the hardware or to improve the performance of the device. Unless you update your drivers regularly you may face problems ranging from the relatively minor such as having hardware that seems buggy and poorly performing, to the more major such as hardware failures, conflicts and complete system crashes.
With so many drivers on your PC you can’t check them all yourself, which is why DriverScanner, the innovative new product from Uniblue, is the perfect solution to your driver update problems. This useful application will search your PC for all installed drivers and then cross reference these against Uniblue’s authoritative library of drivers. Where DriverScanner identifies outdated drivers it will then give you the tools to update your PC with the latest versions, so improving the performance and stability of your computer and its peripherals.

Misleading pricing on Uniblue DriverScanner?
I was set to pay for DriverScanner when at the end of the transaction there was a small note speaking of its being an annual subscription, automatically renewed. So instead of a one-time price for the product, you are committing yourself to paying for it each year.

Bad first impression
I acquired the program without realizing that it was just a one year subscription. This was evident only after I paid for it.
In the first scan, 3 obsolete drivers were identified. Only one of them could be installed. Take your own conclusions

Too hard on system resources
After receiving licensed key I ran a full scan and it found 3 out-of-date drivers, I was able to install only one out of three.
One more issue, it is too slow on my Acer Aspire laptop. It does not worth its price,IMHO, besides they did not tell beforehand that I pay only for 1 year.
