malware detection
Finding malicious programs
Malware detection is the process of identifying malicious software—viruses, trojans, ransomware, spyware—on a computer or network.
Detection methods range from signature-based scanning, which matches known threats against a database, to behavioral analysis that flags suspicious activity.
The antivirus software's malware detection caught the trojan before it could execute.
