It's always a relief when it is easy  Smiley You are not the first person to have this confusion. 

Many people expect that they are always using a "Programmer" so they tick the option but Arduino serial (COMx) usb upload is different. 

Normal programmers are additional hardware that plugs into the 6 pin ICSP port on the Arduino board.
