    I'm looking for an app that scans my files and folders and finds naming errors that contain (/), :)), (..) for example video.-.avi, etc.

    Why can't you just use search in Finder?

    For changing them, I recommend A Better Finder Rename.

    How to search for them? There might be hundreds.

    Take a look at the suggested app:
    A Better Finder Rename. (ABFR)
    It will likely do what you want.
    You can use special symbols as a search criterion within ABFR
