Same here. No forced updates no way no-how.

Forcing updates

Absolutely. And you will have my backslash for attempts to take control over my computer. I do not see how silent actions which are against my wishes could be better for me than viruses itself. As for me, such behavior is a trojan horse on it's own. You can offer defaults updating most unaware users (if this does not interrupts their jobs and not annoys them or you will have awful backslash for a good reasons). But if you will really FORCE me to do something... I will be forced to send such system to /dev/null and seek for better replacement. And I will HATE you. Everyone hates tyrants and enslavers. I'm surely doing the same.
