One of my users told me that her computer suddenly stopped working correctly when using my app, she thinks it might be malware and could have been caused by my app, I'm using firestore as the database and for now they literally just get information directly from firestore document reads, not even cloud storage files.

I wanted to know if there's a way to check for malware or somethin inside a next js app.

No your app is not malware. A web app runs in an isolated sandbox, it cannot be a malware even if it wants to. Her computer is probably getting corrupted by a desktop malware app
The only way your app could make her computer malfunction would be that her computer is too ancient and low-spec that it struggles to run a modern web application
