At first read it sounded spot on, however both can be buried in the sand, I guess it's how they enter he system and the behaviour after which is differs

This analogy is perfect for an end user who doesn't care about the nitty gritty details. Not to mention no analogy is 100% accurate, as no one thing is exactly like another. I'm happy with this analogy, even if it falls apart at the more technical levels, because it completed the job I needed to do.
Thanks for the comments! -
Here's an analogy:
An antimalware software is like an antivirus software.
An antivirus software is like an antimalware software.

Customer: What's the difference between an antivirus and an antimalware?
Me: *thinks for a second* So an antimalware program is like if you're on a beach with a metal detector. You're looking around for metal that's already buried in the sand. An antivirus is like actively watching people for if they drop metal on the ground.
Customer: That's an interesting analogy.
Coworker: *quietly* That's a actually a really good analogy...
