Hello! I have noticed some strange thing and I hope that you will be able to explain me this. My Windows XP Professional SP2 operating system let me knew few days ago that it has been updated some hardware drivers for me. How this can be possible? Is my Windows XP infected? Thank you in advance!

Hello! Do not be afraid. Your system is not infected with some malware. When you have installed your hardware (or when someone done that for you), you (or other person who installed hardware) enabled option in Win XP to automatically update drivers for your hardware from Microsoft official web site.
