Ghost is more likely. Worms and trojans are so rare ... ghosts on the other
hand ..

Seriously, there quite a bit of worms that does actually attempt to disable
AV software. It does not mean by definition of course that this is caused by
a ghost ... ehh ... worm.

A worm, very often is a process that you can actually see running in the
task manager, sometimes named to look like a genuine windows process. See
anything weird in there?
