Windows Defender is a free anti-malware solution included with Windows 8 and later.

It can detect and quarantine viruses, spyware and other malware (malicious software).

Free malware protection for Windows 7 is Microsoft Security Essentials.

This article notes information about files that Windows Defender has isolated on your computer.

The target of detection is DriverToolkitInstaller.exe.

DriverToolkitInstaller.exe

DriverToolkitInstaller.exe is an installer.

DriverToolkitInstaller.exe has a memory that seems to be a program to keep the drivers installed on the personal computer updated.

However,
Windows Defender determines this file as malware.

Software such as DriverToolkitInstaller.exe exists because updating individual drivers is time-consuming, but it is important to be aware that some programs have misbehaving behavior.

If there are no fatal bugs, I don't think I need to bother to update the driver to the latest version.
