Has anyone use this service? Is it a good idea to do? This is the opening portion of their ad:

I wouldn't install it, it may be more trouble than it's worth.

I have been reluctant; was looking for anyone who had a good experience with it

Looked at SlimDrivers and their ad is pretty much the same as Win-Zip's. Looked at the Hippo and the programs they claim to keep up to date are updated automatically by those publishers.
Talked to one of the instructors at the local Senior Center's computer class and her response was, basically, in my words "Why would you need it?"
Gentlemen, thank you - appreciate your help. I'm going to just let it go by.
As with most of these "claimed" better computer activity programs, you'd better be prepared to open your wallet when the program finds necessary upgrades and "missing" files.
