Determining the proper Microsoft malware removal tool
Generally speaking, antivirus software can search for and protect against viruses, worms and Trojans. Antispyware is usually a separate piece of software that searches for and protects against pesky pop-ups that install spyware, potentially dangerous cookies, Windows registry entries, etc. Both types of Windows malware removal tools are needed to adequately protect a Windows system and you’ll need to install and run both to search for pests that may be causing you problems.
