malware scanner
Digital infection finder
A malware scanner is software that searches files, programs, and system memory for malicious code—viruses, trojans, spyware, ransomware.
Most work by checking against databases of known threats, though some use behavioral analysis to detect suspicious activity.
Run a malware scanner if your computer is acting strange.
Often bundled with antivirus software or built into operating systems.
