"Malware" is the general term for any kind of malicious software (hence the name malware), including softwares like viruses, worms, ransomware, etc.

To prevent infections with malware, you should implement a multi-layered security concept, consisting of an up-to-date OS, patched and updated third party softwares, an up-to-date av software. (if possible) user restrictions, removal of unwanted / unused programs from the network (to reduce the possible attack surface to vulnerabilities), security policies, training and ongoing education of your users + admins, admins that regular check the network's logs and information (e.g. by using a network monitoring tool)

Do all of these features comes in a single software?

  True

  Please see previous statement.

  You really need to design your systems this way. It's a PITA to tack security on as an afterthought.

  What's the usage scenario? You're talking about admins and users, so you'll need to detail a bit more what kind of network you're running and what levels of access the users have..

  If you need protection for your personal computer, I recommend two programs, Avira Anti Virus and Malwarebytes

  No. You have already detailed in your post, why this would not be the case.

  Norton Premium 2017 Internet security works great would highly recommend.

  Abbott 2.0 is proving highly effective in the fight against Malware in 2017, although Pyne-O'Clean is delivering the same in a round-about way.

  Unfortunately in the end it's going to lead to an even worse infection initially via the Shorten.trojan then the Gangreen virus (Ransomware) will take us to the brink of extinction/bankruptcy until we install UTrumpu Linux (alpha testing currently underway in US).

  Sick times ahead.
