Explanation

Antivirus software actively scans for, detects, and removes known malware using signature-based and heuristic detection, providing a dedicated defense layer. Keeping the OS and applications updated with the latest patches closes known security vulnerabilities that malware exploits to gain entry - this is one of the most effective defenses against malware. The remaining choices offer no meaningful malware protection: installing multiple browsers or changing the default browser has no security benefit, disabling the webcam addresses a privacy concern but not malware, and attaching a domain relates to network management rather than endpoint malware prevention.
