Malware detection and screening systems

A computing system, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• a communication interface communicatively coupled to the at least one processor;
• and
• a memory device storing executable code that, when executed, causes the at least one processor to:
• receive a malware detection and screening subscription request to screen software application downloads for different types of malware for one or more user devices associated with an entity as part of a firewall subscription;
• register the one or more user devices to apply the firewall subscription to screen software application download requests;
• monitor, via a network firewall, network traffic to the one or more user devices;
• ascertain, via the network firewall and from the monitored network traffic, that a device of the one or more user devices is initiating download of a software application;
• screen the software application for the different types of malware, the screening including a screening protocol;
• determine, based on the screening, that the software application likely includes at least one type of malware from the different types of malware;
• and
• transmit, to the device of the one or more user devices, a notification that the software application likely includes the at least one type of malware, the notification including an interface display that enables a user of the device to override an initial download quarantine process to quarantine the software application.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• receiving a malware detection and screening subscription request to screen software application downloads for different types of malware for one or more user devices associated with an entity as part of a firewall subscription;
• registering the one or more user devices to apply the firewall subscription to screen software application download requests;
• monitoring, via a network firewall, network traffic to the one or more user devices;
• ascertaining, via the network firewall and from the monitored network traffic, that a device of the one or more user devices is initiating download of a software application;
• screening the software application for the different types of malware, the screening including a screening protocol;
• determining, based on the screening, that the software application likely includes at least one type of malware from the different types of malware;
• and
• transmitting, to the device of the one or more user devices, a notification that the software application likely includes the at least one type of malware.
