What is the difference between viruses and Spyware?
Viruses are designed to cripple your machine.  The virus is normally very noticeable.  Spyware programs are designed to steal a person’s information ranging from credit card numbers to social security numbers.  Spyware tends to be harder to spot.  Some signs that you might have Spyware are unwanted pop-ups or suggestions to buy anti-virus and/or Spyware protection.  In many cases your computer could start running slower.
