if you are using vista you can use driver sweeper. But if you are using Win 7 or newer then use Driver Fusion. Driver Fusion is an updated version of driver sweeper but will not delete part of the OS that is needed. It was an issue when Win 7 came out so they updated the program and now it will not do it.

Other than this it is safe to use it.

for windows 8 or 8.1 use driver fusion not driver sweeper. There is a difference between the programs and driver sweeper can delete things from Win 7, 8, 8.1 that you need where Driver Fusion will not. I personally like Driver Fusion for uninstalling all Past and present driver parts including the software that gets installed with the driver Not to mention it does way more than just display drivers.
