Dear All,

I am looking for a good driver update software which can not only scan my system drivers (gpu, audio, chipset etc) but also can scan my installed progs (firefox, winamp, vlc), codecs (if possible too).
I am using Win 8 64-bit. Please note it should be able to scan and recommend me a newer version of my installed applications.

Thanks,
Troy.

DriverEasy is the best free software I've encountered.

harshil, does it take care of my this requirement too-- it should be able to scan and recommend me a newer version of my installed applications (firefox, vlc etc)?

For application updates, there are many softwarer available. I use filehippo updater.

Although it is a good alternative, I disabled it during installation, don't want it waste my bandwith to just check updates every now and then.
