March 29th, 2010

??mimi?? asked:


All these anti-spyware/malware/adware/virus programs have confused me. Can someone please explain what the difference is between them all or if one falls under the category of another.

Oh and would they all be considered viruses or are they seperate computer infections? =S

Thank you in advance!

Luis
