Our last review of Driver Sweeper dates back to March where we reviewed version 1.5.5 of the system software (read: Device Driver Cleanup) that can be used to uninstall drivers completely from the operating system. The developer has been busy in the past months releasing several new versions of the system driver uninstaller. Driver Sweeper 2.1 was released yesterday by the developer.
The interface itself was revamped a bit but has not changed a lot otherwise. Driver Sweeper is still offering the functionality to remove specific system drivers from a Windows operating system. The supported drivers that can be removed are from Ati, Nvidia, Creative, Microsoft and Realtek.
The user can select one or multiple of the supported manufacturers in the main menu. A click on the Analyse button will start the system scan which results in a display of all files, folders and Registry entries related to those drivers.
All or only some of these items can then be cleaned from the computer system. The main intention of Driver Sweeper is to act as a driver cleanup after the official driver uninstallation. It can also be handy if a driver cannot be uninstalled with the uninstaller provided by the driver manufacturer.
Driver Sweeper 2.1 comes with improved cleaning algorithms and full Windows 7 support. This version (actually version 2.0) has been rewritten from scratch. It does require the Microsoft .net Framework 3.0 now to be installed before it can be installed or executed.
Interested users can download the latest version of Driver Sweeper at the developer’s website.

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be actually something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I’m looking forward for your next blog post, I’ll try to get the hang of it! Cheers,
