I don't see why antivirus software couldn't remove spyware as well as viruses
etc. I realized this when had to setup a windows computer to my friend and
she wanted to know why she needed a different programs for spyware and
viruses. I couldn't give her a good answer - aren't customers just happy if
they could do all cleaning with one program?
