Update Safari 4.0.3 without trashing Safari 3?

Question

Hi, not a techie so hope someone can answer this one simply for me. I abhor the new Safari, so I've kept Safari 3 on my machine. I did install Safari 4 because the iStore insisted, but I never use it. So I now have "Safari" and Safari3" in my Apps folder, and Safari3 lives on my dock.
It works fine, but Software Update keeps bugging me about updating to Safari 4.0.4 (my Safari 4 is currently 4.0.3). If I let it do this will it try to do it to Safari3, and trash it, or will it just go for my Safari 4? I really don't want to lose Safari 3 or any of those things hidden in other places that it uses. My inclination is to tell Software update to ignore this update and live in Luddite happiness for as long as I can, but I wonder if then my iStore will stop working (actually not a tragedy, but nicer to have it). Any advice as to my best bet for keeping 4 working for the only thing that demands it and still having 3 for everything else?
Oh, and it's OS 10.4.11 on an Intel laptop. If that's relevant.
Thanks for any help!

Hi, thanks for your answer.
OK, I got the name wrong. iTunes flashed up the message saying I had to have Safari 4 when I was trying to access the iTunes Store: my apologies for concatenating the name, there are so many iThings it happens sometimes. I think of that as it insisting I have 4, however anthropomorphic a phrase it may be. I couldn't go to the iTunes Store without it.
I did indeed install 4, not just download it. Someone else advised me on how to do that – I think I renamed and archived my Safari 3 and then reopened it after the installation. Like I said, I'm not very techy. Every so often if I click on a link in an e-mail without having Safari 3 already running Safari 4 pops into life (the system insists on changing my default browser to Safari 4 every time I close down/start up, even though I chose Safari 3). Otherwise 4 slumbers, and I haven't had it causing any problems with Safari 3.
I know I can choose Update>Ignore update. I was wondering whether I should. I'm certainly reluctant to do anything that might stop my current set-up working. But between the big version number updates, is the iTunes Store likely to stop working for me again if I fail to keep Safari 4 up to date on the little .0.3, .0.4 etc increments?
I can download stuff from the store direct to my iPod via wifi, bypassing the whole mess, but then it won't appear in iTunes on my laptop (syncing is a one-way street?). So I do need – sometimes – to use the iTunes store from my Mac.
So deleting 4 is not an option. I really just wanted a best guess from someone likely to make a better best guess than me as to whether I could update without trashing things, or whether I could safely tell Software Update to ignore – in the short to medium term at least. (I know that in the long term Firefox probably beckons.)
