Over-the-air firmware updates are rolled out over a period of several months, and generally don't start until the download file has been available for a week or two.

I don't want to connect my Oasis to my PC because I am very paranoid with my Oasis infected with virus. I have no anti virus with my PC. I have my own reason not want to install an anti virus software but that is a separate discussion.
A Kindle cannot be infected by a PC virus. It has a different type of CPU. (You could, in theory, get the payload for a virus copied to the USB-mounted drive, and thus have the Kindle become a vector for transmission of a virus between PCs, but that's a different matter.)
