Explanation

Anti-virus software is designed to detect, block, and remove malicious software including viruses, worms, and Trojans. Worms self-replicate across networks, and Trojans disguise themselves as legitimate software - both fall under the category of malware that anti-virus tools are specifically built to handle. Spam blockers filter unwanted email, anti-spyware targets tracking/espionage software, and anti-adware targets unwanted advertising software - none of these specifically target worms or Trojans.
