Thats right, viruses and spyware are different, but are both examples of the substandard quality evident in the Windows OS, which is where my contribution to this thread began.

Well, spyware and viruses aren't really the same thing. In my parlance,
anyway. Spyware is usually to track spending habits, etc., often downloaded like
cookies when buys something online. Viruses, as I understand the definition of
the term, are deliberately designed to crash or corrupt someone's machine.


I ran one of the spyware detection things once, it said it found three
questionable things. So I removed them. I do run spyware detection programs that now
and then.
