DriverAgent

Even though keeping your drivers updated is not exactly a walk in the park, it is a mandatory step to maintain your computer protected against various vulnerabilities. Besides the enhanced security, various patches released can also bring new features and improvements to the software solutions you have installed on your PC.

DriverAgent is a lightweight piece of software designed to automatically detect the status of the drivers on your computer and provide you with a quick way to update them.

The setup is quick, straightforward and does not require any special attention from your part. Upon launch, the program scans your system automatically to detect the hardware and its corresponding drivers and software.

Once the scan is complete, you are provided with a detailed list that is organized based on the status of the drivers. You will be happy to learn that the utility enables you to check the driver info prior to the update, a feature that can be useful if you have an older computer that may not be compatible with the new drivers for instance.

A further noteworthy feature is the backup function, particularly since you can create a restore system point or a configuration with only the basic drivers. The first one could come in handy when you are experimenting with the operating system's settings or with a tweaking tool.

The backup can also be useful when you are reinstalling your operating system especially if you made sure to create it with the latest drivers for your processor, motherboard, audio and video cards, for instance. Lastly, it is worth mentioning that you can set the app to look for updates at regular intervals, if the alerts become too naggy.

DriverAgent is an easy to use application that permits you to keep your drivers up to date and therefore, enhance the security of your computer, while boosting its overall performance.
