Strengths: Did notice any
Weaknesses: It pulled up the drivers that I should remove and so I did. Big mistake! Now I sitting here reloading all my drivers because it removed ones needed like chipset drivers, display drivers, ect.
Overall Evaluation: The worst software I have ever used!!! I would not recommend this at all

Strengths: Helps identify those driver files
Weaknesses:
Overall Evaluation: The new version 1.5.5 has an "Analyze" button and a "Clean" button. The "Analyze" button gave me a list of files and registry keys. First I uninstalled the drivers using the driver's uninstaller. Rebooted normally, ran CleanSweep, Analyze, Clean, rebooted, Analyze, all the files were still there. Rebooted in Safe Mode, ran CleanSweep, Analyze, Clean, this time it worked. Then I decided to do a System Restore and purchase a different brand video card. (I'll use this again when it arrives.)

Weaknesses:
Overall Evaluation: I installed Driver Sweeper on my XP machine, did a scan of my video drivers since I have updated them several times. It made my computer un-bootable. I had to boot in safe-mode to recover and still had to reinstall my video drivers. That was my one and only experience with Driver Sweeper. I don't dare ever try it again. Once was enough.

Strengths:
Weaknesses: No CHOICE of what the software will do BEFORE it does it!!
Overall Evaluation: Don't use this software unless you know EXACTLY how to reinstall your drivers!! Didn't sweep OLD driver version, swept CURRENT driver version!! I took a chance on this software utility on the advice of the "19 Tools to Get the Junk Off Your PC" article ASSUMING (yes, I know...) that whoever was recommending it had actually used it. Most utilities that are going to mess with your registry entries tell you what changes it proposes to make and asks you to OK those changes. Not this one!! Then it was a bit of a challenge to find out what it had done, though I eventually found the info in the log file. Thank goodness for Sony support which had the original display drivers for my VAIO laptop on the support site.
