The difference between an update and an upgrade


Product Update
Updates are a fix or an enhancement to a product. They are generally downloadable and free. In Norton products, LiveUpdate keeps the product updated by downloading and installing updates. This includes virus definitions, security updates, product fixes and enhancements. To keep your product as up to date as possible, run LiveUpdate on a regular basis. Go


Product Upgrade
If you own a Norton product, you can buy a new version of your product at a discounted price. This is called an upgrade. Because you are already a Symantec customer, we sell you a new product for less than the retail price. To upgrade your product, go to our Upgrades & Renewals Web page. Go
