What is the difference between anti-spyware, antivirus, and a firewall?
The Firewall protects you by preventing identification of the open ports on your workstation and by blocking unauthorized intrusion attempts. The Antivirus tool prevents your workstation from being infected by computer viruses. However, Firewall and Antivirus protection will not prevent your workstation from being infected by spyware without your knowledge. You need Anti-Spyware for this. Finally, the Anti-Spyware service cannot remove computer viruses.
