B. AVG Driver Updater Limitations

1- Not available for iOS and Android

2- Considerable CPU usage when running in the background

Although the AVG driver updater is small in size and does not take up much space on the system it runs in the background for regular checks which consumes approx. 20 % CPU usage which is sufficient for the slow performance of the system.

There are several driver updaters available in the market of different brands which offer extra features besides updating outdated drivers like PC optimization, password managers, tools for browser clean up, etc. But such features are not available with AVG driver updater.

4- Expensive

There are competitors in the market which offer the same services at a cheaper price for a single computer per year. AVG driver updater is not a good option for corporates, requiring an application for several computers at less prices.

Price for 1 Year/ Computer is $39.99

Conclusion:

AVG Driver Updater is a unique software that enhances your system’s performance by updating the outdated driver. However,  it is a bit more expensive than its rivals in the market. Although it has a unique feature of updating the missing drivers, it also lacks some additional features like PC optimization and password manager.
