I've never seen a "free PC scan" that wasn't a scam, but maybe this one is
the exception.  Have you tried Windows Update to see if it has any suggested
driver updates?

Funny you should ask, I just installed http://jungledisk.com last night, it

folders or allow you to simply copy stuff to the cloud drive.  It bills
through your Amazon account and stores the data on Amazon EC2.
