While online a window popped up with an official microsoft look to it, in the form of an urgent notification that my drivers were outdated for my operating system. I had just recently upgraded to windows 8.1, and wondered how the driver update during the upgrade could be outdated so soon. Nonetheless, a scan of my drivers was recommended so I went along, (this was microsoft right?) and all of a sudden a 'utility Scanner' was being downloaded, which then boldly stated that '14 out of 32 drivers for windows 8.0' were outdated and needed updating. The reference to 8.0 should have done it for me, but in this day of relentless updates from your manufacturer, op systems, devices etc, I thought it must be something normal, so I reluctantly clicked to proceed, and another download proceeded, a window stated in small print that these updates were available at NO CHARGE from the manufacturer's, next an offer for a subscription and when I saw a price charge, I immediately hit the cancel download button. Multiple windows then barraged me with ominous statements to the effect of urging me to proceed. I went to control panel, remove programs, and a normal 'un-install' seemed to proceed, except when I hit the un-install button, I was asked the question 'Do you really want to un-install 'DriverUpdate'. Clicking 'yes' then brings up a window asking, 'Do you want this program to make changes to your computer software?' It is obvious I do not want this, since I am asking it be 'Un-installed. Why won't windows perform this command for this program? Why does it question my command to un-install this program? When re-assuring windows I indeed want it removed, why does it then ask me if I want to allow this program 'to make changes to my software'?? And when I say no, why does it assume that means that I don't want it uninstalled, and leaves it there. Can someone tell me how to get this off of my computer?
