I guess if you got used to use bots, then perhaps you can't avoid such an issue. Mainly because bots are required to be updated as you noted and it might lead to such consequences. Of course, it's unpleasant, however as for virtual computers in the cloud, perhaps, there are such ones but you have to search for it in the internet. Remember that it's pretty important to understand how does this virtual computer work and what to do in order to prevent falling into the hands of various scammers. As far as I concerned, there are plenty of such ones among those ones who offer EAs or bots in the internet.
