I know most people update their OS and things like Flash regularly because its either done automatically or people are aware of the security risks of not doing so.

There is a vulernability out there for iTunes right now: http://secunia.com/advisories/40660 so its a good idea to grab the latest version.

I know most people think "Why should I update iTunes, I don't need/care about whatever they added, my current version works just fine." Well, here is an example of why you still need to update all 3rd party apps -- security.

Eh, that being said, most people just click "Ignore" when prompted to update stuff. Unless it's done completely without their knowing, most people won't update apps.

+1....very irritating to have it try and install another browser I won't use and who-knows what else.
