What is a Driver?
A driver is software that allows your computer to communicate with hardware or devices. The maintenance of your system’s drivers are critical to the overall performance of your PC.
How does updating my drivers help the performance of my PC?
Updating your PC device drivers can often improve the speed of your PC, resolve known technical issues and add functionality.
Why should I subscribe to Driver Alert?
When manufacturers release new products, these products are often found to be incompatible with other products on the market. Manufacturers fix these problems by releasing updated drivers. Unfortunately, many of these manufacturers fail to include an auto update feature for updating drivers. Driver Alert offers an easy way to keep your drivers current, while enhancing the stability and overall performance for your system.
