The two tools provide different functions. A firewall is designed to prevent intrusion into your computer by hackers, worms, and other threats that connect to your computer through your Internet connection. A spyware removal tool removes spyware that you have installed on your computer. Spyware is usually bundled with other “free” software and is installed when the “free” program is installed.
