Whats the difference between Android malware, spyware, adware and a virus?
These are all very different bad things that we hate equally
The terms malware, spyware and virus get thrown around a lot on the Internet. Usually, you’ll find they get used interchangeably, and we all just nod in agreement because we understand that we’re talking about things we don’t want and would like to never see again. But the reality is that they are all very different animals.
We’re talking a bit about Android antivirus apps (which really are designed to prevent malware and not viruses) this week, so we wanted to take a few minutes and talk about what each of these nasties really is.
