Running Windows 7 using Google as browser. This morning while online a new window popped up supposedly from Microsoft offering a download to update drivers on Windows 7. I'm always skeptical of these offers. Are they really from Microsoft? If so why don't they just update with normal automatic updates? Any thoughts?
If you do that you'll be sending bit coins as payment to some "software" company in RU to "fix" your machine. Anything that pops up in your browser while surfing is NOT legit!
Click "yes" and you're in for a world of hurt. All Microsoft updates come in through your regular Update app in your Control Panel and very few of those updates are driver related unless through OEM channels which are usual best avoided updating from Microsoft anyway.
