Difference between spyware remover and antivirus software?product key

Spyware is a ''spider'' that watches over your computer so another person can take advantage of it. A virus is a ''bug'' that directly messes up your system.
Spyware remover is remove programs that pose a threat to your computer like trackers and antivirus is to keep your computer from getting a virus(like trojan) and it searches your hard drives for viruses to be contained or removed.
they are different types of things that can harm your computer

a virus may be more fatal than a spyware, but less noticeable

while a spyware usually includes a lot of pop ups and other things like that

its best to have the antivirus software on at ALL times and the spyware to scan weekly...

i use Avast! antivirus and Comodo pro firewall, and scan weekly with adaware se...all are free and can be found at download.com

they work great
