Is "upgrading" the same as "updating" (in an IT context)

Hi people!

Are these two words used interchangeably (in an IT context)? If not, could you explain the different uses for each?

Thanks a lot!

Mara.

Updating is usually used for small fixes in a program, like new virus definitions. Upgrading usually involves buying the new version of a program or hardware.
