DriverBoost is an automatic driver scanner, downloader, and installer. It is an application that scans your computer and creates a list of all the devices you have installed on it, as well as the drivers that make communication between your operating system and those devices possible. It can also detect the version of those drivers and check online to see if new versions are available. If so, it can supposedly update your drivers for you. I am saying "supposedly" only because the trial version scans your computer and tells you how many drivers are out of date, but it asks you to register (buy) the application so that it can update them. That is a wise limitation, I don't disagree.
DriverBoost seems to have put a lot of emphasis on ease of use. The application welcomes you with a screen that tells you to start a scan. After the scan is completed (mine didn't take long), all the drivers that you have are listed under categories, and those that are outdated are highlighted in red. They are also counted and shown in a graph. The next step would be updating them.
According to what I read on their website, DriverBoost downloads the drivers from Amazon S3 servers, which should allow for fast download speeds and it has over one hundred thousand devices in their database, so chances are your hardware can be detected and updated, if needed.
Ensure all your hardware devices and software applications are performing at peak performance levels
