I have antivirus and it did not fix the spyware on my PC. What is the difference between viruses, worms, Trojan horses, spyware, malware, hijackers and adware?
Viruses, worms and Trojans are different software programs all detected by anti-virus programs. A computer is usually infected by an email attachment or by having an unsecured network. No one ever asks for a virus nor wants one.Malware, spyware, hijackers and adware are a lot like viruses and are unwanted, but there is usually one distinct difference. You, or someone who uses your computer agreed to them.
