My worst-ever virus experience came from when I received my Dell laptop after they had it in their repair depot for more than six months, and I neglected to download and install updates before going on the internet. My computer was rendered virtually unusable and it took me days to figure out how to fully excise the virus. Automatic updates, on the other hand, have never been more than a minor nuisance for when it needs to install upon either turning off or turning on my computer.
So I think I'm fine with this, since I've had autoupdate turned on for years and its never given me any grief.
