Probably, implicitly. Have automated regular backups, and don’t let your AV automatically update, or even if it does, don’t log into all your computers simultaneously. If you update/login serially, then the first BSOD would maybe prevent you from doing the same thing on the other (or possibly, send you running to the other to accomplish your task, and BSODing that one too!)

But yeah this is one reason why I don’t have automatic updates enabled for anything, the other major one being that companies just can’t resist screwing with their UIs.
