I use AVG, and I received an update that 23 of my drivers are out of date. I bought this Lenovo in 2007 and it still works great. How important is it to pay $30 to update drivers?

    Driver updates are always free directly from the manufacturer of the hardware and if you're running Windows, they also usually get updated automatically during windows updates. Never pay money for a driver update. Paid updates are often a scam - I see such programs also helpfully let you know you've got viruses on your computer (when you don't) and then offer to install a remover (which is itself actually a virus).
