Words that rhyme with Malware
Start from the sound: malware is a two-syllable word on the broad /ษหr/, and it spills out through a liquid consonant. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. Rhymes for malware have a particular footprint: the strict-rhyme column is bare, no family rhymes survive the strict family test, while the vowel-only slant column is the deepest of the five. Its lyric role is a quotidian anchor. When strict matches feel exhausted, the assonance column is where you go fishing.

Why malware rhymes the way it does
Malware is built around the /ษหr/ vowel (/ษหr/); it's two-syllable and flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 2, assonance 6,728, and consonance 1. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Malware rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
