Bad ware and other computer nightmares to avoid.

Hi there.

Another big SCAM on the internet is DRIVERS.

Some people know that when you have a computer you sometimes have to update your drivers, but finding the proper driver isn't always easy, and they take advantage of that.

You search "drivers" on google and you see "free drivers" then just as you try to download (d/l) the driver they ask for $30.00, WTF a free driver for $30.00?

Well it is a SCAM, and most CPU boards require at least 4 drivers: Audio, Video, Network & Chipset, the later includes a few drivers for the hard disk controler, interupt manager etc, that your cpu needs to work more effectively, at $30 a pop it comes out to $120 which is often more than the main board is worth.

The important thing ro remember is YOU NEVER PAY FOR DRIVERS, and you go to the manufacturer of your cpu or the mainboard if it is a clone.

And don't forget the drivers for all your other cards also.

That is why you should have win installed by pros, they know how to do the job right (most of them, anyway).
