malware scanning
Digital threat detection
Malware scanning is the process of examining files, programs, or systems for malicious software—viruses, trojans, spyware, ransomware, and similar threats.
Antivirus programs perform malware scanning automatically or on demand, checking against databases of known threats and analyzing suspicious behavior patterns.
The IT department runs weekly malware scans on all company computers.
