This being said, such programs could be seen as 'pure scam' and should be avoided at all cost.

Your system will perform worse with these programs installed than without The goal of the distributors of such programs is to make money by making you buy their useless product, or install additional software (PUPs) when you install their program.It has been tested and proven that these programs will detect outdated drivers on a system that have the most updated drivers from the manufacturer, which shows that they don't work and/or they try to make you install 'newer' suspicious drivers.Driver Updaters are a scam, they try to convince you that you need these programs in order to make your system perform well, which is false.You should not download drivers from anywhere else Only drivers from the computer/laptop manufacturers website, or the hardware component manufacturers website are considered official (legitimate and working).You don't need to pay for any of them, if you are being asked to pay for drivers it is likely a scam

You can download drivers for free from your computer/laptop manufacturers website, or from the hardware component manufacturers website.

Not everyone with the same drivers will experience the issue, so if you are having no problems with the drivers you are running, you don't need to update them.

Driver updates are released to fix a bug or an issue with a previous release of that driver.

You cannot increase the hardware performance of a component over the current capabilities it have

Having all of your drivers up to date, all the time, will not improve the performance of your system, nor your computer.

They control and facilitate the interaction between Windows and hardware components, to deliver a 'message', nothing more

Drivers are 'middlemen' between your OS (Windows) and your hardware (computer).

Driver Updates can damage your system at the point where a reinstall of Windows will be needed.
