Viruses, Trojans, and Spyware, Oh My!
Anyone who has ever tried to use a security program on her computer has probably wondered, “What is the difference between viruses, trojans and spyware?” as the program scanned her hard drive and informed her of all the different types of threats lurking there. If you ask me, I don’t really care what the difference is if they’re all things that will harm my computer’s performance if I don’t get rid of them. Still, it may just be the smart thing to find out more about these threats, as they may use varying methods and cause different degrees of harm to my computer, and I will want to find a security program that can protect my computer from all angles.
