driver update
The manufacturer’s website offers a diagnostics tool, promising to have a look into the according hardware, detecting if more recent drivers are available and leading you through easy download and installation.

Ah, ok, if you think so … Somehow this incident took away a bit of my paranoia concerning spyware and data-mining by big companies or even national offices—let your bots’n’spiders run havoc and spam you, their masters, with funny data.
