ParetoLogic is known for making software that satisfies almost any need a computer user might have. ParetoLogic DriverCure is driver update software that’s sure to rise through the ranks and become their crowning achievement. From the interface to the features, it’s one of the best in the industry. The application doesn’t have a large feature set, but what it does have is perfected to a point where they could leave the application alone and it would still be one of the best. We would like to see more features added to the application because it would make it a more powerful tool, but the current features are powerful enough to carry the application. When you’re producing a PC maintenance program, you have to deal with the prospect of having too few or too many features. It all comes down to the interface and how it’s incorporated into the feature set.

While the interface for ParetoLogic DriverCure is no different from many of the other applications we’ve seen, they somehow find a way to make it work very well. The interface consists of a toolbar on the left hand side with five different buttons and a window on the right, producing the features of the menu you’re currently in. They do a good job with not having too many buttons, which is something a lot of other applications in this category have fallen victim to. Plus, everything moves very quickly, which makes this interface one of the best we’ve seen in all the applications we’ve reviewed.

Features:

The feature set for ParetoLogic DriverCure is very simple. You can scan for outdated drivers, look at a history of items that were previously detected, downloaded or installed, exclude drivers from being included in the scans and schedule scans to occur automatically when you’re not at your computer. You might look at that list of features and wonder why we rated this program so high. In the end, the quality of the features matters a lot more than the quantity of features. We couldn’t think of any other features that ParetoLogic could add to the program to make it better because it’s already superb as is. While other driver update software focuses on the drivers themselves, ParetoLogic DriverCure expands the search and can keep track of software applications as well.

Ease of Use:

The smooth-moving interface helps out a lot with the ease of use for ParetoLogic DriverCure. And with self-explanatory features, this application is as easy as they come. We couldn’t have asked for a more seamless and enjoyable experience than the one we had with this application. Everything involved with the app runs smoothly and is a useful asset to the overall operation of your system.

Effectiveness:

When we performed a test scan of our system using ParetoLogic DriverCure, it came up with 20 problems. All but two had to do with drivers. We performed tests to determine the validity of these results and realized it gave us one of the lowest numbers of false positives out of any driver update software we reviewed. If you’re serious about updating your drivers and are tired of dealing with false results, you should give ParetoLogic DriverCure a try.

Help and Support:

ParetoLogic DriverCure has a help button within the application, but it’s tucked away in the upper right-hand corner. It’s the same help menu you will find in any Windows application. However, the one for this program is better than many others. You can also contact ParetoLogic via email. We were impressed with the quickness of their responses and how informative their replies were. They have a number of other resources that can help you trouble spots, though none of them are specific to the application itself. They are, however, more helpful than anything their competitors have come up with.

Summary:

We found ParetoLogic DriverCure to be one of the best driver updater apps we reviewed. We liked everything about it and we think you will too.
