No. Most of those "Driver Finder" software turns out to be A. Either Spyware/Adware/Virus or B. Software you end up paying for because it tricks you into thinking it is useful but it isn't.

I'd recommended using Windows Update every once in a while. Not necessary to download a Smitfraud program that won't do anything.

^^In case you are wondering, I had a similar program, on one of our customer's computer's ( I do phone tech support ) "Driver Detective" which turned out to have downloaded a virus, and the customer, thinking it was a driver update, obliged and ended up getting his identity stolen^^
