Default What is the difference between Virus removal tools and Antivirus software?


Q: What is the difference between Virus removal tools and Antivirus software?

A: A virus removal tool is software for removing specific viruses from infected computers. Unlike complete antivirus scanners, they are usually not intended to detect and remove an extensive list of viruses; rather they are designed to remove specific viruses, usually more effectively than normal antivirus software.
