Jim, please see

There is an explanation of Live Update and Intelligent Updater. Using the 
latter on a daily basis is, according to Symantec, overkill as I read it.

I have noticed in the past month Live Update has been far more active than 
once weekly (Wednesday).  In one case there were two Live Update releases 
in one day, and four in that week.

Thank you for alerting us to the availability of daily releases if people 
want to use the.  That was a real contribution to computer security, Jim
