I totally agree with you Alan. It has already been said, but popup
window irritates people and makes them fear that their computer have
been corrupted.

Furthermore, it's an application which ask them to "install something"
and give there password to proceed it... I'm really afraid that people
may think it's some kind of virus and just dismiss, and finally, never
install updates, which is the contrary to what we want to achieve
there!
Other option is that they will reinstall ubuntu from scratch, then,
see that the same window popups again and they will remove Ubuntu and
tells that it's not secured because they got twice a "virus"...
