Make sure you go into the driver details and make notes
about the version and date. That will keep your head from
spinning around should the driver for your counterfeit chip
become replaced. Another thing you can do is stop your
internet connection when installing these daily updates.
It will prevent Windopes 7 from trying to install the latest
WHQL drivers from the Microsoft repository. I'm not certain
but once you do that the driver installer may present your
with dialog stating 'no newer driver could be found, keep the
current driver?' I've seen so many of these kinds of dialog from
installers it's hard to keep them all memorized.

No. Do not update.
Unless your programming cable has a genuine Prolific usb-to-serial chip in it (most cheap cables have a counterfeit chip), the updated driver will detect the counterfeit chip and stop working. You must continue to use the older driver that does not perform this check.
