8. I'll just say that I have run SlimDrivers to see how it did.

It gave me no headaches and did find some updates. As I wasn't having any problems, I can't say how useful the updates were. The only thing about the software I didn't like is that it set itself to start when Windows starts, which I though was unnecessary for a driver update program. I went ahead and did the 5 updates it suggested then turned off the startup option. My system has run fine for 5 months after the updates.

A couple of links. Take a look at the Avast one since the developer makes a quick statement about his software.
