Anti virus VS Anti Spyware? which one should I install?

Hello,

Antivirus and antispyware – both are different programs and offer different types of security options. As there’re various malwares and viruses in your PC, I recommend you to use any good internet security software.

Internet Security programs include both antivirus and anti-spyware. It protects your PC from threats coming via internet and you can scan your PC with it for any malware, too.

There are many good options but I like Norton Internet Security, Kaspersky Internet Security, BitDefender Internet Security etc. They are quite well and powerful enough to remove any malware and virus from your PC.

Don’t install several security softwares at the same time as they’ll slow down your system and conflict with each other and give unacceptable pain.

Anti virus VS Anti Spyware? which one should I install?

Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware are two different things you can`t compare them with each other. Anti-Virus is purely using to destroy malware and viruses while on the other hand Anti-spyware works well on Ad-Wares. So, both are essential for your PC or you can install a combo software which has both features.
