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?
Windows doesn't use popups in "browsers" for system updates. So could have been a scam? However, you may get browser notifications for plug-in updates such as Flash or Silverlight for instance.
You can always check the status of WIN updates by clicking the Start Orb, and in Search type "Windows Updates". Click the link to check what MS updates are available.
