Paretologic's Driver cure

[johntywino]

Hi, Have just been on windows update looking for any driver updates and up comes the above....The only thing is, it seems to be offering the world! Does anyone happen to know (A) whether or not it is any good and (B) is it free, or does it have to be paid for ?Thanks, John.

It is not free .None of these driver updates are free. Driver Magican will find the missing drivers but you have to pay to download and install them. If you are using Windows 7 it automatically updates them for you. The only other way is to go to the manufacturers web site and find the new one yourself.

Thanks Galeck---Will do that. John

windows update should not direct you towards a "driver cure" (otherwise known as "rip off") solution.

If it is, you are either, not using windows update, or your computer is infected with something

As galeck suggested, get your drivers from the manufacturers website, it's not the only "other" way it's the the correct way.

Thanks Chuck, I'm going to try " HP Compaq Presario" site today ( or whatever part of it works) to see what I can find. Thanks again John

Chuck, Incidentally I just went onto "windows update" and put in "Driver updates" and that's what came up....Iv'e had Norton 2010 for 2 years and regularly use Malwarebytes and Spybot, but the computer still does a lot of background stuff (sometimes for several minutes) before I get on to a site, thats why I'm trying to update everything. The computers about 5 years old and uses Firefox. John
