Any of you guys use it or feel its still necessary when updating your nvidia drivers?
When you use it do you remove just the 'nvidia' section or all the things named nvidia like 'nvidia wdm' and 'nvidia stereo'?

I used to use it all the time, even when just updating drivers, i use Guru3D Driver Sweeper now.

I just Add/Remove the drivers, then after its restarted i just run Driver Sweeper (no need to go into safe-mode with this one) and select Nvidia Display, then once thats done its cleaning i install new, its also better than DriverCleaner, as that leaves some stuff behind.

Btw, if you have a Nvidia chipset board, then it may remove your LAN as well, as your LAN is a file thats very similar to a file your card uses so it removes it as well, will be fixed that in a later version though (or may be done now, ive never checked for a while:p), but if you don't then it'll be fine, ive had no probs at all with it. :)
