I have driver toolkit thought it was good until....... I reactivated driver booster by Iobit and it down loaded a realtek driver and i subsequently checked event log and sure enough it had done the update. However driver toolkit keeps telling me this driver is still the old version and no update is necessary. I checked driver update on my pc and again confirmed it had been updated. Then did a restart and checked driver toolkit again still indicated old driver still installed and up-to-date?

I think it is excellent value compared to iobit driver booster. It does its job because i have checked driver events log after running it.
