The point of cryptographically signing a file is not that it never gets corrupted, it's that the corruption can be detected. This should mean if the file is bad it's blocked from being installed.

Microsoft also SUPPOSEDLY gives you the option to NOT upgrade your software. Then they override that option. Oh well, so much for that argument.
They haven't given you that option for a while. You can delay the update but not block it forever. See Microsoft's FAQ on updates
