Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that a firewall is the same as antivirus software?

No. A reference source explicitly states that firewalls are not antivirus systems and make no attempt to identify or remove anything. Multiple other sources consistently list firewalls and antivirus software as separate, distinct security tools.
