Couldn't find the reference to wednesday but is is definately a weekly update. From the symantec website:

LiveUpdate
Most home and small offices Users practicing safe computing find that LiveUpdate provides an excellent balance of protection and ease of use. LiveUpdate definitions are updated weekly , except for major outbreaks, when definitions are updated more often.

Intelligent Updater
Network administrators with many computers, those who have a fast connection, and those who use newsGroups are at extra risk of viruses and other threats. They may want to use the Intelligent Updater. For them, the extra protection is worth manually downloading and installing definitions. Intelligent Updater is updated daily during the work week.

Personaly i was kind of pissed that I got sent a known virus while I had norton and other computer in the office with McAfee were detecting it.

P.S. Here is the link i got the info from: link
