      The other day I got an e-mail from AVG offering me a free "DriverUpdate scan." Has anyone else who uses AVG gotten this e-mail? Did you take them up on it? I think it's a legitimate thing but I'm a bit leary of running it due to some of the scam type computer scan offers that show up all the time.

        Thanks Paul. I'll check out Update Checker.

        I have CCleaner and use it frequently.

          Try this:
          Filehippo Update Checker
          It simply scans what you have installed and then pops up a browser window of apps/drivers that are out of date, its up to you if you want to download and install them.
          While your at it get CCleaner and Defrag if you havent already, both are free.
          I use CCleaner about one a week to not only get rid of the accumulated junk that Windows acquires but to check and kill a lot of the unnecessary processes that start with Windows.

          As for AVG, I personally got rid of it yonks ago after it started to 'infect' my browsers with it toolbars etc. I use Avast on my XP machines and MS's own Security Essentials on Win7
