Duration of ownership: 1 Days
Strengths: Absoultely none!
Weaknesses: My search for a replacement for my corrupted CD driver on PCWorld, this product came up. I tried the "free" download, but it indicated that for a fee of well under $10.00, I could have free downloads for several months, so I bought it (paying through PayPal), and downloaded it. It scanned my computer, correctly identified my CD drive, and indicated it had downloaded and corrected the problem. But it had not, NO CD drive shows up on either my Windows Explorer or Control Panel (even after several re-boots). BUT, the worst part was, when I received my PayPal notice, I was billed for $39.90! NOT the original much less amount I originally "clicked" on. Also, I've tried to return to that "special offer" page, with no results.
Overall Evaluation: Looks like a scam to me!

Duration of ownership: 2 Weeks
Strengths: Hard to find any -should I ask for refund?
Weaknesses: Tries to install drivers older that what is loaded - does ask VG. Reports 10 drivers needs updating, run things down to three and then back up to 10. Downloads do not always run. Do not reply to questions
Overall Evaluation: Save your money and do not buy

Duration of ownership: 1 Weeks
Strengths: Easy to use - gives a quick status on the system drivers and devices not working.
Weaknesses: Downloaded drivers cannot be trusted.
Overall Evaluation: Not worth the money. Without Kaspersky keeping an eye on what was going on, I would have loaded an 'Invader' virus with my Epson R800 driver. You are better off not shelling out any money. Use the product to identify problems and go to reliable sites for your drivers. Do NOT these download drivers without a good security system in place.

Duration of ownership: 1 Months
Strengths: /
Weaknesses: Recommended me wrong drivers for my audiocard, videocard and even gave me drivers for AMD64bit systems while I have Intel32bits, all of which caused serious trouble. I contacted customer support several times for this issue, but they DID NOT ANSWER. So next to a product that does not work as is described, they do not offer customer support as promised.
Overall Evaluation: I strongly recommend you to NOT buy this product.
