I do not think most of you know how a driver operates and how it interacts with the other software installed.
I will not try to teach anything here, but I will tell you how I know which driver is good or bad.
I have two exact computers with same hardware and same software running one next to each other.
One of them is never updated with new drivers and is used as a reference point for benchmarking.
My experience is as following:
New drivers can work slightly faster or slightly slower then the benchmark, depending of who wrote the updates.
If the driver updates come from the hardware vendors or the software department of the motherboards, they work the best because when drivers are updated they must work with the other drivers in tandem and share CPU interrupts, registries, memory and so on.
If the timing is not correct, you may slow down other drivers or even make you computer crash do to overlap in timing. One driver can not take more CPU time than already allocated by the MB designer, therefore, updating constantly can create system crashes or even HD failures by installing drivers not specifically written for that hardware.
After all, you can not create more time slices from the CPU for the new drivers than already allocated by hardware manufacturer. If the new driver is not timely sync with the operating system, you will start to have software crashes and blame Microsoft or other software vendors, without realizing that the new drivers have interfered with the OS or other application software.
Be your own judge when updating drivers from unknown vendors, IObit does not write drivers, they may use unknown driver modifier's companies that do not comply with your hardware.

Sammy,

Nice. This is why I watch this site. The software is 99% useless to me (not necessarily bad, just useless to me), but the expert and well-written comments and/or good recommendations for other software is worth all the time I spend looking at this site.

I have had to remove all Iobit products from my computer, because I am fed up with the constant nagging, trying to make me pay for newer or pro versions... Pure nagware. It is a shame, because the programs themselves are excellent.

Even after the 6 months, it will break your nerves with advertisements!
