Explanation

Anti-malware software is specifically designed to detect, quarantine, and remove malicious files on a system, including files that have already been downloaded. Once an infected file exists on the device, anti-malware is the tool that directly addresses the threat. A firewall monitors network traffic but cannot scan or remediate files already on the disk. Patching closes software vulnerabilities but does not remove existing malware. Permissions limit access but do not detect or clean malicious content.
