• Antimalware Scan Interface — A secure programming interface (Antimalware Scan Interface) developed by Microsoft for the Windows operating system; this technical structure allows third-party applications to send script and memory buffer scan requests directly to the installed antivirus product, offering enhanced protection against complex fileless malware attacks executed in memory.
