They don't say what kind of malware do they?  Why not interpret the
statement in such a way as to
actually protect the systems in question with the disk IO/cpu cycles
you are going to burn.  i.e. Run a file integrity checking program.
i.e something like AIDE or Tripwire.  Tripwire is a commercial product
(no idea what it costs) and will scan you system for any file changes
(malevolent or not)...
