the difference between anti-spy,anti-malware and anti-virus?

[Unluckylunchroom987]

Anti-spy is actually tracking cookies and track where you go online to get your history to place ads that pertain to you, YA, Facebook, Yahoo mail, Gmail everybody uses them. Look on the right, that ad on there is probably putting in ads that are either in your area or pertain to what you do online.

Male ware is just Malicious Software, basically the same as a virus.

Anti-virus is just that a program to stop a virus and/or maleware.

Most General all around anti-virus programs have them all incorporated including anti-spam, (email).

If you do not have a good anti-virus, get one, they have free ones available.
