Which term is used for software designed to identify and remove malware?

• A. Anti-malware
• B. Firewall
• C. Encryption
• D. Data loss prevention

Answer: (A)

Anti-malware software is designed to identify and remove malware from a system. It scans for known malicious signatures and suspicious behavior, quarantines or deletes threats, and often provides real-time protection to stop infections. The other terms refer to different security functions: a firewall manages network traffic to block unauthorized access, encryption protects data by making it unreadable without a key, and data loss prevention aims to stop sensitive data from leaving the organization. So, anti-malware is the best choice for identifying and removing malware.
