Virus are piece of
software that try to damage your system

Spyware is a software
that aids in gathering information about a person or organisation without their
knowledge and that may send such information to another entity without the
customer’s consent or that asserts control over a computer without the consumer’s
knowledge. Spyware is mostly used for the purpose of tracking and storing
internet users’ movement on the web, serving up pop-ups ads to internet users.
You can use Spybot Search and destroy software to
scan your system against spyware.
Malware on the other
hand is a software used or programmed by attackers to disrupt computer
operation, gather sensitive information or gain access to private computer
systems. It can appear in the form of code, scripts, active content and other
software. Always make sure you have Antivirus
software in your system. Also always ensure you update all the installed
softwares in your PC and also run windows update always to prevent viruses,
spywares, and malware attack on your PC. When you update current versions of
most installed softwares, it prevents attack from virus because most recent
versions of softwares try to work on their vulnerability thereby making it
impossible for a virus or malware attack but if you keep using the old software
without update, you will be vulnerable to virus, the same goes with the windows
operating system update. So, always check your installed softwares to ensure
its up to date. You can use a software updater from www.filehippo.com, they will always give you
notification whenever any off your software is out of date.
You can also use
CCLEANER and other good antivirus softwares like NORTON ANTIVIRUS or AVAST
ANTIVIRUS to protect your windows PC. Also remember to use SPYBOT SEARCH AND
DISTROY software. Thank you. Please do send your comments if you have any
question.
