benware

Benign/benevolent software. The opposite of malware (malicious/malevolent software). A piece of software that is not malware. Not to be confused with anti-malware, i.e. anti-virus tools and such.

Also note that malware may cause benware to become malware.

Firefox, Twitter, Photoshop, games... it's all benware.
