Difference between anti-spyware and anti-virus?
meta.mark: “if the less than tech savvy consumer will continute to purchase unnecessary software.” Well, that will likely happen forever, but Malwarebytes and Spybot S&D are free. There’s also the free Spyware Blaster that basically does what Spybot’s Immunize feature does. Education is very important (hello to my neighbors who were conned into buying StopSign by a popup that said they were infected). I’ve been using Spybot S&D, Spyware Blaster, formerly used Ad-Aware, and Malwarebytes for literally years, and have not had an infection in years.
