Why there are two Sync in my computer?

What's the different between new Sync and old Sync ?

After releasing the old version of sync, we realized that it hangs back numerous users because you need to wait for synchronize the blockchain data every time. This waiting greatly reduces the user's experience and loses patience. Moreover, users also need to know certain knowledge of the blockchain before using Sync. This brings a certain threshold and inconvenient to users. In order to make more users understand and experience blockchain easily, this gives us an idea of the new Sync.

The New Sync is providing a seamless experience for end-users and developers. it makes developers and users focus on the content itself, rather than understanding how blockchain works. For example, users no longer need to synchronize block data, just open and use it; simplify the transaction process... and more.
