Hi, I'm currently using Norton Internet Security 2014 and I'm very happy with it.. but i read somewhere that disabling Norton Smart updates increases detection... I googled and didn't find anything... is it means disabling the AutoUpdate from "Settings -> Computer -> Updates" ? if itsn't then please give me the way to disable it and disabling this may affect the whole protection or what?
 
About Smart Definitions
For faster downloads and installation purpose, Norton AntiVirus classifies these virus definitions into two sets.
Complete - Contains all the virus definitions for each threat that is known to Symantec.
Core - Contains the most important virus definitions that are required for latest security threats as viewed by Symantec.

Smart Definitions decreases installer size and definition download size for the user.
