What is DriverScape?
This tool is a very dubious thing. Sometimes, it can appear on your PC without your wish, and start its activity without your command. After such an appearance, users go google the information about this thing. However, the queries like “Driverscape Wiki” will lead you to nowhere. Wikipedia knows nothing about this tool, and the top-ranked pages will show you some definitely paid promotions of this program. On Reddit, there are several threads about Driverscape, but all of them say nothing good about the app. The majority of users who tried it say that it brings no profit compared to getting the drivers directly from the website, or even been infected with different viruses:
When it comes to the legitimacy of driver download pages there is only one question that needs to be asked:
Is the website the official manufacturers website?
If the answer is not yes, then you should stay away.
90% of unofficial driver download sites are scams or malware hubs.

A lot of other signs of unclear reputation may be discovered after checking their website. They ensure that all drivers they have in their library are WHQL-approved (a special seal by Microsoft that approves the goodness of third-party software). However, Microsoft themselves give no answer on the question if they really certified this program. All these queries get the same answer – a link to the Microsoft disclaimer of third-party software usage for registry optimizing and driver installation. That means that MS does not distinguish it among other questionable programs.
Microsoft is not responsible for issues caused by using the utilities of such sort… We cannot guarantee the ability to fix the system after making use of this kind of programs…

Despite the fact that such comments can be found in several clicks, people continue to use DriverScape and advise it to their friends. You can still see the questions like “Driverscape Intel HD Graphics for Windows 10” or “DriverScape Dell monitor drivers”. People decided to trust such a suspicious thing, regardless of all moments mentioned above. Moreover, they think that there is a need to update the drivers for your processor graphics. Someone even trying to search a crack for DriverScape, forgetting that this tool is free.
