virus removal
Malware elimination process
Virus removal is the process of detecting and eliminating malicious software from a computer or device.
The term covers various threats beyond literal viruses—malware, spyware, ransomware—though the name persists from early computing.
I took my laptop in for virus removal after it started running slowly.
May refer to the service, the software that performs it, or the act itself.
