mr mark, [edited] I checked to see what intelligent updater does...

The Intelligent Updater is an alternative to LiveUpdate to update your virus definitions. LiveUpdate downloads and then installs the virus definitions for you. However, if you cannot use LiveUpdate, or if you prefer to download and install the updates manually, then you can download and use the Intelligent Updater to install the virus definitions.

symantec.com

Sounds like the updates are the same. Are they more timely?

[edit in] I see the answer to my question now [from your link]...

During "non-alert" situations, Symantec Security Response posts virus definitions to the LiveUpdate servers once per week (usually Wednesdays). During "alert" situations, however, virus definitions are posted to the LiveUpdate servers as soon as they have completed full quality-assurance testing. In all situations, virus definitions are made available for (optional) manual download on a daily (Monday to Friday) basis using the Intelligent Updater.
