It upgrades all the scanners you have installed, not just the ones you
happen to be using at the moment. That way, if you change which scanners
you want to use, you can be safe in the knowledge that they will already
be up to date when you first use them.

The "generic" scanner is one that you can write yourself to do whatever
you want it to. Allows for much more customisation.
