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.

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.
