Hey, you can *disable* the software installation entirely in the
preferences, and if you don't, you are *asked* for confirmation *every
time* such an installation is requested.

What other technical measures do you need?
A second confirmation box? "R U *really* sure?"
A third confirmation box?  "R U *really*, *really* sure?"
A fourth confirmation box? "R U *really*, *really*, *really* sure?"
