Blame the industry for blurring the lines
Anti-virus programs don't block ports. Firewall's do.
Anti-malicious tools (includes spyware) can.
The confusion is because
some of the old names have become (bloated) security suites.
IMHO another issue is the default configuration of
silently doing the job. The user loses the learning experience of having their Internet browsing behavior corrected. Sort of like standing up in class to answer 'How much is 2 + 2' and not having anyone correct you when you answer '5'
