If you are talking about your OS and or your antivirus program i'd say yes unless you are looking to get hacked or infected.

Given that this is posted in the WSA-AV Forum, I would assume (usually safely) that the AV in question would be WSA, which does not require updates.  
 
What version of WIndows are you using?  Generally, update requests will show what is asking to be updated, but malware sometimes comes disquised as a fake update request, so please give us more information about what exactly is shown.

@ , sorry oh wise person. I had briefly forgotten that cause at work i'm looking at this ugly yellow shield in my system tray where i ( at home ) am used to see the Webroot logo ... :D
I'll write a 10 page essay not to forget anymore about that 😉
