Most free driver update programs are a scam and you will notice that you have all kinds of 'other software' installed. There is rarely a need for these. I've tried dozens of these and many of their recommendations are incorrect. Your equipment manufacturer will either have an updater installed on your computer or will have any updates available on their website. That said, I have seen good things about PatchMyPC. Just beware Arthur.

I've just come across a terrific program called Patch My PC, which is freeware and does a wonderful job. You can download it from https://patchmypc.net/download. Almost forgot: it's also portable, so you can stick it on a thumb drive and use a single copy to update all your machines. -- Arthur _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
