They are not 'generic' in nature. They are obtained from the manufacturer.
Microsoft then tests them in as many configurations as possible. They then
become 'signed' drivers.
There are many devices in existance that manufacturers have no intensions of
updating to the XP level. Microsoft in this case keeps those drivers to
support old hardware. Perhaps that is what you are referring to.
And if you tell me you're using virus scanners that is the tipoff that you
have no programming experience and lack in overall computer knowledge.
Ridiculous you say?? Why don't you delete all your virus programs, use common
sense and see how a computer should run. There are far more (magnitudes) of
problems caused by virus detect programs than problems prevented. Once again
you speak with emotion rather than fact.
