Autoupdate

   Autoupdate is a malicious [1]software [2]feature that frequently remotely
   modifies software on the user's device without asking, sometimes silently
   and many times in a forced manner without the possibility to refuse this
   modification (typically in [3]proprietary software). This is a
   manifestation of [4]update culture. These remote software modifications
   are called "updates" to make the user think they are a good thing, but in
   fact they usually introduce more [5]bugs, [6]bloat, security
   vulnerabilities, annoyance (forced reboots etc.) and [7]malware (even in
   "[8]open source", see e.g. the many projects on [9]GitHub that introduced
   intentional malware targeted at Russian users during the Russia-Ukraine
   war).
