> why you NEVER have software that updates without explicit permission from a sysadmin

In general I agree, but this case is quite messy. It's more like your anti-virus had a bug since forever that if it loads a broken virus definition it bricks your system. And a broken virus definition finally happened today.

Do you want every virus definition (that is updated every few hours) to require explicit permission from a sysadmin?
