They are probably updates that are designed to add some kind of secret spyware to your computer.

Maybe I am a dunce but help me out here.

I downloaded this modem update item as it was critical. Next thing I know, it was finished downloading and then I got a pop-up saying I had been disconnected from the internet and to reconnect. Of course, another pop-up under that one said I had no modem. Another pop-up under that said I needed to restart the computer for the update to be installed.

No problem, I restarted with no problem but did not see anything install. I reconnected to the internet and all is well. How do I know that this update was installed properly? I assume it was since I was able to connect to the internet after the restart.
