Hi,

What is the difference between Spyware and Antivirus? Is Windows Defender acts as a Spyware?

Thanks,
Kiran.

I think you rather mean Anti-Spyware. From the word itself, anti-spyware are against spywares while antivirus are against viruses. Windows Defender is anti-spyware/anti-malware app.

Windows Defender  Antispyware No Detection Malware

The BIG truble with Windows Defender is that every Virus, spyware and/or malware maker is doing every thing so Microsoft one product is the first that is not working agains it. This is a prerequest for them to spred. Windows Defender is just to keep the lamers from making simple malware.
