I have a vague memory of Whack-A-Mole being a type of malware, but I don't think it fits this scenario.

SubSeven was mentioned in a few of our lessons, but I can't recall if it specifically deletes antivirus definitions.

I think FireKiller 2000 sounds familiar; it might be the one that disables security software. I feel like I saw a practice question about it.

I remember studying different types of malware, but I'm not entirely sure which one specifically targets security applications like this.
