[Elecraft] Windows 7 Update, FTDI KUSB and Fluke

Windows 7 Update advises me that an optional update is available for
"Fluke - Other hardware - USB Serial Converter     706 KB"
Windows says that this update was published "Yesterday", i.e., 9/22/11.

The only USB Serial Converter that I have is the FTDI KUSB purchased 
from Elecraft on last January 26.

Back in April, I got similar updates from Windows, but those updates
included "FTDI" in their descriptions.  As far as I know, my KUSB
worked
fine both before and after those April updates.

I am aware that there have been problems with non-FTDI KUSB cables, and
I would like to avoid those problems.  

Does anyone know if Fluke has taken over FTDI, or is this an update 
that should not be elected?

Thanks and 73,
Paul W8TM
