Not having any specific problems with my PC but noticed this prompt that encouraged me to download a program to keep my system drivers updated. DriverUpdate.net - Update Drivers for Windows 8, 7, XP, and Vista

Is this something I should consider doing? Is this link the best place to begin the process of verifying my drivers status? Or, does my frequent [automatic] Windows 7 update keep my system current?

Thanks for your thoughts.

I do not use any of those utilities. The only driver I update is for my graphics card. The rest are the same as when I installed Windows 7.

If it's not broke, don't fix it.
If it is broke, ask in this forum and someone will let you know which driver could be causing your issue.

Hi prowler, I would suggest to stick with Windows 7 automatic updates.

For the frequent prompts, run antivirus and scan for malwares.
