Anti-Malware removes viruses,malware.spyware and adware but is not a antivirus software, so when using these you still need to use a antivirus software


Norton you have to renew every year


Malwarebytes' Pro is a one time fee for life and is the best security software you can add to any antivirus software to provide the needed protection|||Anti-virus targets specific dangerous files. Those that will really harm your pc, like trojans. Anti-malware is abit more general. It targets the less harmful but more annoying files, like pop-ups.
