Most driver tools also often contain malware, and are just money making scams. This could result in a piece of your hardware no longer functioning, or could even go as far as giving you a BSOD ('Blue Screen of Death') when you try to start the laptop, because the driver cannot find or control the hardware that it was expected. They are unnecessary and you usually end up with the wrong drivers installed. You should *always* avoid tools that promise to give you the latest driver updates for your computer. You should realize that the latest versions are not always associated with the 'best' versions of that driver, and you should always think carefully about the reasons as to why you are choosing to update the driver to begin with. The latest version will always be available from the official ATI support website. An example would be to update the driver for your ATI graphics card. The best place to get the latest drivers for your hardware is from the hardware vendors website. Your computer manufacturer will not always have the latest versions of all drivers, however you can be sure that they have been tested by the manufacturer and are certified for use. Such websites will not necessarily tell you which version of the driver you already have, but will usually include a release date and a list of fixes and upgrades that the newer driver provides. If and when you do find the need to update your drivers, the best place is often your computer manufacturers website. The only real reason would be to resolve a problem that you are experiencing with a particular piece of hardware, or to gain an additional feature from that hardware (AND if a newer driver version addresses this issue - for example, the wireless function of your laptop may have an updated driver that allows connections to WPA2 encrypted networks). In general, it is not necessary to update drivers on a regular basis.
Depending on who you speak to, you will often get many answers as to when and why you should update drivers to a newer version. The idea and concept of regularly updating drivers is somewhat misleading.
