Would the same program remain higher quality when downloaded from the internet rather than installed from a CD or DVD?

Somewhere and only once on Yahoo Answers, an answerer mentioned that 'a program is higher quality when downloaded from the internet rather than installed from a CD or DVD.' An example of the previous sentence would be that 'downloading McAfee from mcafee.com would provide a higher quality product than purchasing a McAfee cardboard box at the store.' Is this answer correct, or is the answer either incorrect or a troll?

    It will not be a higher quality from the web site but it will be the latest version. Even if you purchase the box version it can usually be updated to the latest version from the web site once installed.

    They are almost the same. However,if you can install on your computer,you can update whenever it has.
