A simple tool for updating your drivers

Faulty drivers can be a pain in the neck for computer users. You’ll be using your computer and everything’s fine and then one day, nothing works properly. When things start to go awry with your computer system, the first thing you should check is the status of your drivers. You can go and check them manually one by one, but the best way to deal with faulty drivers is by using special software especially mean for checking drivers. Driver Doctor is one such program. It is a nifty little tool that can check the status of your drivers, download, and update them.

Design and Installation

It’s always annoying to have to sit through a long and tedious installation process. Fortunately for everyone involved, Driver Doctor has no such problems. The installer file is small so it didn’t take a long time. There were no additional programs required to be downloaded in order to make the program work. Just install it and you’ll be running the program at once.

The design of the program is also worth praising because it’s simple, cohesive, and professional. It has a black and blue color scheme that’s easy on the eyes and looks modern. The interface is also intuitive and well executed. The window is divided into three tabs: Scan, Download, and Settings. The Scan tab is the first screen of the software and it contains a large button with the words, Scan Now. Below that button is your machine’s System Information. It’s a massive help to users that you’ll be able to see what your Operating System, Memory, Processor, and Motherboard is. The Download tab is where the results of your scan will be displayed. The Settings tab contains customization options.

Scan Process

The scanning process is quick and easy. All you have to do is click the Scan Now button on the Scan tab. Wait a few seconds and the results of the scan will be displayed in the Download tab. From the Download tab, you’ll be able to see which drivers need to be updated. There are usually Download and Install buttons beside the drivers, so the users can choose which drivers they want to modify. Additionally, if the driver update already exists in the computer, all the users have to do is to click install and the driver will be updated. Clicking on the driver in the Download tab will prompt a dialogue box that contains information about that driver. If there are some drivers that you’re not going to modify, you can also choose to hide the item from the list so that it doesn’t distract you.

Quick and Painless Way of Updating Drivers

It would be absurd to check, download, and update drivers individually. The process would simply take too much time and effort. Thankfully, there are software like Driver Doctor that can update drivers for you. This program makes updating drivers a quick and painless process. It’s also highly intuitive and easy to use.

Softonic

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
