Maybe Claw can stickify it?

Ever had your AV pop up and tell you that such 'n' such a file is/has a virus? But, then wondered whether it was a false positive or not?

Check-out <a href="http://www.virustotal.com/index.html" target="_blank">Virus Total</a>.

Using that site you can upload a suspected file and have it examined while you wait by 40 top selling anti-virus/spyware apps.

Just spotted a nice little jobbie.

Says it updates drivers.... Free....

<a href="http://download.cnet.com/SlimDrivers-Fr ... 79940.html" target="_blank">Linky</a>

Seems to work, though the free version only lets you download one at a time, but it does do all the hunting for you.
Uses cloud technology. Sounds a bit wet to me.....
