Answer 1

virus protection is useless in fight with spyware and adware, because viruses and spyware is different things. what you need is antispyware. try spyware doctor, it has great features:
• real time protection
• deep file scan

A blended threat is a malware that is made up of a combination of different malware components, such as, a worm, a trojan horse and a computer virus that uses multiple techniques to attack and propagate. That what you mention is what is called "A Blend Threat" Which means a combination of all the mention. That is why it is very important that you keep your antivirus program up-todate and run a scan at least once a week just to kep your computer protected. The definition that I gave you at the beginning came from "Wilkipedia" and anytime that you need information about most thing about computering you can look it up there This is what I use to check out most question on viruses, trojans, malware and other threats and you can do the same.
