Spyware vs Malware

August 4th, 2009 . by admin

So, what is the difference between spyware and malware.  Spware is used to spy on you while you surf the Internet and malware is like a virus that can attack your system, similar to a virus.  It all depends on what type of malware it is.  If you download xoftspyse it will scan your system, much like a virus scan will, but it removes all the stuff that your virus scan misses or does not detect, depending on your virus software plan.  It’s always good to have a program like this so that when you think your computer is acting funny, you can run a spyware program to see if there are any problems.
