These are generally presented as being necessary to avoid some security problem that will destroy your computer if you don't take action. And sure enough, like clockwork, a new virus will shortly make the rounds exploiting just that security vulnerability.
I can't help but feeling that this too is just a way of turning the wheels, making sure that we do the updates whether we want to or not.
