it is better to not update the drivers if someone hacks me or update the drivers to prevent attacks

Driver update software

Windows Update should have a considerable amount of good drivers. They'll be listed under the "Optional Updates" section. That should give you rather good functionality right off the bat. If it's a branded PC, latest drivers will likely have to come from the manufacturer's website. For the most part, built-in drivers should be Good Enough™

I don't think I've run across an automagic driver installer that wasn't loaded with malware.

 

Update drivers or not?

I always update drivers from corresponding hardware site especially of chipset+GPU+Audio as soon as available (like yesterday nVIDIA GPU driver update ver 190.62 from 190.38). I also check for drivers update on Microsoft Update site. Nothing has gone bad ever for me due to drivers update. Always found new version more compatible + performance enhancement + bug fix + security enhancement.
I would recommend to update drivers + BIOS + OS updates as soon as they are released.

 

Driver Update/install

Hey I need some help with a how to for updating drivers. I've read about six different ways to update drivers and I'm not sure which method is the best for each compontent. Is there a better way to update video drivers than chipset? Does anyone have a walkthough for a beginner on updating? Any help would be great! Thanks!
