What type of software is designed to investigate and detect viruses and malware?

  1. Spreadsheet

  2. Email

  3. Antivirus

  4. Database

The correct answer is: Antivirus

Antivirus software is specifically designed for the purpose of investigating and detecting viruses and malware on a computer. It works by scanning files and programs for any malicious code or patterns and then removing or quarantining any threats. Options A, B, and D (spreadsheet, email, and database) are not designed for this purpose and do not have the capability to detect and remove viruses and malware from a computer. It is important to have a reliable antivirus software installed on your computer to protect it from potential security threats.
