Keeping current with LiveUpdate 5 Symantec products depend on current information to protect your computer from newly discovered threats. Symantec makes this information available to you through LiveUpdate. Using your Internet connection, LiveUpdate obtains program updates and protection updates for your computer. Your normal Internet access fees apply when you use LiveUpdate. w If your computer uses Windows 2000/XP, you must have Administrator access privileges to run LiveUpdate. About program updates Program updates are minor improvements to your installed product. These differ from product upgrades, which are newer versions of entire products. Program updates that have self-installers to replace existing software code are called patches. Patches are usually created to extend operating system or hardware compatibility, adjust a performance issue, or fix bugs. LiveUpdate automates the process of obtaining and installing program updates. It locates and obtains files from an Internet site, installs them, and then deletes the leftover files from your computer.
