The problem (as reported) seems to be that it pops up without warning, but doesn't identify itself as a part of the Ubuntu system. To anyone who's used to annoying or harmful Windows or Web pop-ups, it looks like another one of those, trying to scam the user into something. "Upgrade the system for important security updates" -- right!
How can the program clearly indicate that it isn't malware? (In a way that real malware would find hard to replicate.) Perhaps it shouldn't do unprovoked pop-ups at all? Merely putting something in the panel (and in a notification that shows up periodically?) that shows how many packages can be upgraded (and the maximum severity of the issues that provoked the updates) might be a good fix. If the user clicks on the panel item, THEN they would get a window popping up -- when they expect to see one. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/510212 Title: update-manager: no branding.
