Most remind you when a definition is out of date or upgraded version is introduces. Some upload a live update everytime you sign in to see what you have, don't have and need.

Out-of-date antivirus software means ineffective antivirus software so make sure you are up to date even if it reminds you itself. They normally make the indications pretty eye catching as to if you are out of date but they do not remind you in all occasions. Look up the update status option in your software to check if you have the latest version and what to download if you don't.

Purchase an annual subscription from your antivirus software company to make sure your antivirus software stays current and effective. If you have purchased a subscription, most antivirus software will update itself when you are connected to the Internet.

Is Antivirus software the same as Antispyware?

No. Antivirus software helps protects against viruses. Antispyware software helps protect against spyware and other unwanted software. Spyware detectors can be downloaded for free though. I use Adaware'a free download although it's always better to still get the upgraded, paid version if you are frequently on the internet. For my home computer I just have the basic free version.

Many antivirus companies were relatively slow to respond to the rise of this new class of threats, aka spyware, so it's smart to buy both an antivirus and an antispyware.

It depends on which antivirus you are using. If the product you are using does not have a separate antispyware product, it would be a first indicator that your antivirus probably covers that too. There are exceptions however like the free version of Antivir which does not handle adware, but the full version does. Another surer method is to look at the definition updates and see if it handles common adware and spyware like look2me. It probably makes sense to use some antispyware on demand though as backup even if your antivirus handles adware and spyware. Additionally, you could also contact the company to ask if they cover this threat or search in the support forums.
