Download the drivers /without/ the nvidia app and you won't get
nagged. I hate that GPU drivers are following HP's bloatware tactics,
but at least (for now) they are allowing you to still do a 'just the
drivers' install.

The only time I update the drivers is:

    a) I'm doing a complete reinstall of the OS, and figure I 
       might as well get the latest-n-greatest
    b) if I suspect a problem is related to the driver
    c) some stupid game insists on a specific 'minimum version' 
       before it lets me play
    d) I get really, /REALLY/ bored. ;-)
