    Is this a REAL Update or something nasty?


    Hi all.

    Just turned on my PC and found this...



    I am running NOD32 Antivirus, so I don't expect any surprises. However, this is a strange type of 'update' box isn't it? There is no explaination as to what I'm turning on, which makes me a bit nervous.

    Anyone know what it is?

    It's ok.
    It means it's asking if you want updates from Microsoft Update besides Windows Update.
    ex: drivers for keyboard/mice, nic, etc
    You always have the option not to install it.

    It's perfectly safe, i had the same option about a week ago and it's not done any harm.

    As kpo6969 stated it's just updating from purely Windows Update to other software from Microsoft.
