Hold up, is the answer 'Macro virus'? That's the one that hides in your documents, right? Gotta keep an eye out for those crafty little buggers.

I'm going with the stealth virus on this one. Those things are like ninja viruses, slipping past antivirus software without a trace.

Hmm, I'm thinking it's gotta be the polymorphic virus. Those shape-shifting buggers are really good at evading detection.

I'm not sure, but I think D) Polymorphic virus could also be a possibility since it changes its code to avoid detection.

I agree with Shaun, Stealth virus makes sense because it hides itself from detection.
