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

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.
