I am a competent computer user, but I am no technician or programmer. The Softpedia review dated January 2016 says -

"Double-clicking an entry takes you to a dedicated webpage where you can view the latest version number of the driver so you can compare it to your own. If your driver is old, you can update it by browsing the web for the latest package and install it on your PC.

Unfortunately, you will need to do the searching yourself, as the application does not provide you with the possibility to automatically download and install the newest driver. So if you are a novice who is not very familiarized with searching for technical information on the Internet, you might want to steer clear of DUMo.... To wrap it up, DUMo can offer you a comprehensive list of all the drivers installed on your computer so as to allow you to look for the newest version on the web. However, this process is not automated and this makes the app more suitable for PC experts than for beginners."

It may be a very good piece of software, but, thank you GAOTD, I'll err on the side of safety.

with drivers I bide by 'If It's Not Broken, Don't Fix It'.
If a device is working properly, no need to look for a newer driver, that only may cause problems. If you do have a problem, that can be fixed by a new driver, go to the manufacturer site and download the latest version available to match your device and OS version.
No need for an application that takes space, computer resources and promote advertisements.

Links to drivers it said need updating were just to the generic Intel website not the specific download page. The Intel Driver update tool said the drivers I had were newer than those it offered?

Uninstall this and the Intel tool as both seem to be a waste of time.

Having read through the majority of comments posted here today regarding "DUMo", I don't want anything to do with it. Thanks to all who take the time to stop and share their experiences. They often provide the reasoning behind download decisions.

If my memory serves me right I think this was offered before on GOTD a good while ago (can't remember when) but I do remember that it installed a lot of third party thing that was hidden away and the so-called driver updates caused no end of problems. Things may have changed since then, I'm not going to risk it. My advise is that if your anti virus or malware say that it is unsafe let them do their job, fairly sure it won't be a false positive.
