Whats the difference between Anti-Spyware and Anti-Virus?
A firewall and Anti-Virus do not protect your system from spyware. Spyware can bypass your firewall and Anti-Virus and stay hidden for long periods of time without your knowledge. Viruses cannot be removed by Anti-Spyware. To ensure a safe experience online, you need to have Anti-Virus, firewall and Anti-Spyware on your computer. Spyware does not usually contaminate and infect one machine after another as viruses do. Also, spyware does not try to damage your computer, though it may slow it down. Spyware is designed to gather information and send it on to fraudsters and hackers.
