DriverUpdate question

My wife's Acer Aspire laptop with Windows XP, sometimes gets a message and I don't know who it's from or where it came from. It doesn't say Windows or Microsoft anywhere.

"Would you like to update now?"

"There is a new version of DriverUpdate available."

"Yes or No"

What is this? And should I click "Yes" or "No". [I've clicked "No" so many times I think the button is busted.]

Thank you

 

If you have a program such as DriverUpdate, and have clicked the radio button to prompt for updates, then you will receive this message whenever a newer version of a program is available.

for example, I have Ccleaner and Defraggler from Piriform, every now and then a newer version is available, and I am prompted to update, which I do as newer versions fix any security loopholes in a program.

However if you do not want the program Driver update, then just uninstall.

 

Thanks for the help

Elizabeth from Florida.... are you my wife and you're just messing with me?

Seriously, thanks for the help.

I was too sleepy to do a search for the answer. I appreciate the help.
