Which feature prevents unauthorized uninstallation of security software?

• A. Safe Mode Protection
• B. Two-Factor Authentication
• C. Anti-Tamper Protection
• D. Cache Computer

Answer: (C)

Anti-tamper protection is the feature that guards security software so it can’t be removed or quietly disabled by unauthorized users or malware. It locks down critical parts of the protection stack—like services, drivers, and key files—and monitors for uninstall or tampering attempts, often requiring a trusted action from an admin or centralized management to make changes. This directly prevents unauthorized uninstall, keeping the protection in place and maintaining ongoing security.

Safe Mode protection isn’t primarily about stopping uninstallation; it may restrict what runs in Safe Mode but doesn’t universally block removing the software. Two-factor authentication strengthens login security but doesn’t by itself prevent the uninstall process. Cache computer isn’t a standard feature that addresses tamper protection.
