I use, love and recommend all of Piriform's software. Anyone that I know that has a PC, I tell them to at least get CCleaner, and run it weekly.

I, recently, have been trying to get all of my drivers up-to-date. Any scanning software out there, though, claims Free Scans, but then you have to purchase a license to actually get the needed drivers. So I thought, what better project for Piriform to take on, next? Driver Scanning, and linking to sites that offer free downloads of those drivers (potentially the official websites of the hardware manufacturers).

Anyone else thing this is a good idea?
