Antivirus versus Antispyware

Antivirus




-Antivirus is a serious defensive system, which protects your PC from such parasites as viruses, Trojan horses, keyloggers etc.

-As you see, these parasites are REALLY dangerous; some of them are able to damage vitally important components of your operating system (such as system registry or file system) and simply delete important information.

-Moreover, parasites like keyloggers are a real threat to the security of your private data.

-This means they can easily steal your passwords and logins by logging your keystrokes, writing them into special files and, of course, sending these files to the hacker.

-Antiviruses behave strictly with infected files.

-They usually delete them or put into quarantine (this means infected files stay on your hard disk but can’t harm your PC anymore).

Antispyware



-Antispyware acts in a way, which is very similar to antiviruses’ behavior, but their aim is a little bit different.

-Parasites can be divided into several groups and antispyware systems deals with groups of not so harmful, but really annoying pests.

-Such file, like annoying and unwanted toolbars, is the main aim of such type security system.

-Antispyware simply ignores destructive viruses (just like antiviral systems ignore spyware) and concentrates on detecting spies, pop-ups, tracking cookies and other junk, which sometimes may harm the infected PC.

-Right after that, antispyware acts same as antivirus’s offers several options of leaving infected files untouched, quarantining them or removing completely.
