What type of software is typically used to detect and remove viruses?

  1. Spreadsheet

  2. Database

  3. Anti-malware

  4. Presentation

The correct answer is: Anti-malware

Anti-malware software is specifically designed to detect and remove viruses from computers. Spreadsheet and presentation software are used for data and information management, respectively, and are not designed to detect or remove viruses. While a database may be used to store information related to virus detection and removal, it is not a type of software that actively scans and eliminates viruses. Therefore, the most appropriate and effective type of software for this task is anti-malware software.
