While I agree that an annual fee to get all updates and virus definitions is the way to go; automatically having them install the latest update *could* break your system. This would be similar to MS automatically applying critical updates which have been showing to break other things once applied. Maybe if we had it downloaded to our machine, and if we install it and it breaks other programs, have the ability to roll back to the prior version (as long as the companies virus definitions support all versions of software)
