Yes, avast! is just like any other antivirus program. But unlike McAfee, avast! does not have any spyware detection like McAfee does.
You got viruses, trojans, spyware, adware, worms and some other things.
Yes, and probably the reason why McAfee has added spyware detection into its antivirus program is because they all fall into one category: [b]Malicious Software[/b].
Well, just to clear things up. I do not want avast! to be an spyware remover like Ad-Aware is. All I want is detection of spyware files. (Such as the executable that the spyware uses to install itself.)
And since Malicious Softwares are useless to end-users and even might be harmful for them, why doesn’t an antivirus at least warn a user before anything happens to their system? This resolves a lot of problem about malwares and could make a user’s system run as smoothly as possible.
Just my opinion.
