What is DriverUpdate?
By SlimWare Utilities, Inc.
What is it?
SlimWare's DriverUpdate is a software application designed to check the PC's currently installed drivers against a database of available drivers for a number of software and device hardware applications. If driver updates are available the software will automatically download them from the manufacturers web site and install them.
Why should I uninstall DriverUpdate?
Unless you actively use DriverUpdate it should be disabled from running as it utilizes needed system resources even when your PC is idled. It is configured to auto start and run in the background when your PC boots. It is recommended if you want to continue running DriverUpdate you should only use it on demand and start it manually when needed.
