The chipset it is referring to is a function of the mainboard. There is no "Program" as such.
It is simply a driver that allows the Operating System to use the full functionality of the board that a specific driver may allow.
No sure why its updating your driver though, unless your installation is new, or you have auto updating of some sort.
