[QUOTE="SpiderWeb, post: 1099185, member: 88686"] Most big name AVs should be tamper resistant. Bitdefender on Mac will not let me terminate or change any settings within the UI or program files without administrator override. Even in the case of malware running in admin/root space, good AVs have safeguards in place to prevent tampering. But, once you allow a malware to run in admin space you already have other problems because it can technically hide from the AV and most malware will not go anywhere near tampering with AV products if they don't have to.
