What's the difference with AVG Anti-Spyware, and AVG Anti-Virus? besides the name? Both are ver 7.5 right now, but I know that the AVG Anti-Spyware used to be called Ewido.

Look at the name. One is an anti spyware, one is an anti virus. They protect against different types of threats. It's always a good idea to have a firewall, an anti virus, at least one anti spyware. You can have others..just don't use their "shields" or real time protection. Keep others for on demand scanning only.
