You appear to be speaking of anti-virus programs. I'm speaking of
anti-SPY
ware programs.


Apologies - I must have been tired :-}


None needed sir.

In fact, due to the increasing number of software security "suites" out
there the line becomes more blurred every day in any event.


Actually I feel the link between viruses, spyware, and malware is so
strong that it is not useful anymore to distinguish among them.
Spyware invites viruses, and like viruses use many of the same methods
of compromizing a system.

The suites aren't responsible for blurring the line. They exist merely
because the line came pre-blurred.
