Thanks . Perhaps I will wait a week or two and go back and get Driver
Support again about the middle of March when my subscription would have run
out anyway. A few weeks without a driver scanner won't do all that much
harm anyway.

if you know the manufacturer of the driver you are after, that's where you
should go.
There a many rogue"driver updates" making their rounds, this is a problem
that is likely to increase.
However it would be inappropriate to go into the reasons for this in this
current thread/group for a number of reasons over and above accessibility(
although these issues could and most likely will impact on user
accessibility).

One day last week I had a rather strange Windows update which didn't close
windows down in the normal way but it hung on for something like One and a
half hours after which I had to close the system manually by holding the
power button in for a short time. Since this my 'Driver Support' programme
refused to open up and I have uninstalled it from my computer. I have
looked on Google and Yahoo for a free, or reasonably priced replacement, but
whenever I find one and go to download it I seem to be running into trouble,
as MacAfee is always telling me that the download is dangerous. I tend to
accept this as last night before going off the computer I cleaned nearly one
GB of rubbish from the hard drive.
Can anyone recommend a good driver updater and suggest a website where I
might get it?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
