A common tactic of malware is to identify the type of malicious code protection software running on the system and deactivate it. Malicious code includes viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and Spyware. Rationale for non-applicability: The MDM server should only be accessed by authorized administrators, which means that non-privileged accounts will not be present.
