On my little ASUS Win7 notebook, I’ve been getting a pop-up offering an online update for my Office 2010 Starter Edition (click-to-run). I’ve used the notebook for about 3 years and Office 2010 has been on it since the beginning. I’ve never seen any message like this before; it doesn’t look “Microsoft-ish”. I keep the notebook updated with the latest updates from Microsoft and other applications. I did full scans with MalwareBytes and Microsoft Security Essentials, which showed no problems.
Here’s an image of the pop-up:
Is this thing legitimate? I did an online chat with Microsoft and the only thing they offered was a link on how to uninstall Office 2010! Not something I want to do.
Thanks in advance for any info.
