If a virus, cybernetic or organic, has a fancy name then expect a related name for the cure. It might be that the names allude to opposite concepts, that one is derived from the other, or that they follow a common theme. At the very least, both names will have a similar termination or suffix. Remember that Tropes Are Flexible so non-viral substances and their counteracting agents also count. Compare Unified Naming System, which is this but for hero and villain organizations. Sub-Trope of Theme Naming, when certain related elements of a story are named following a specific theme or pattern. |

Resident Evil: The T-Virus and its vaccine Daylight because in the daylight, you don't need an umbrella. The G-Virus was named partly for Golgotha (the site at which Jesus was crucified) and partly for its creator's wish to create God-like Transhuman Abominations. Its cure was named DEVIL as a play on these factors, fitting with the religious theme of the two. The Las Plaga parasites and the Las Plaga Removal Lazer. The C-Virus has the Anti-C vaccine. |

Metal Gear: There's FOXDIE and FOXALIVE, reflecting the latter's purpose as a computer virus designed to destroy the Patriots and free the world of their control - essentially, the exact antithesis of FOXDIE's intended purpose.. | |

Mission: Impossible II: Chimera (virus) and Bellerophon (cure) are named after a monster from Greek Mythology and its slayer. This is justified, as those are actually their codenames from the project that created them. | |

Snatcher: "Lucifer-Alpha" ravages Eastern Europe, but mutates into a benign form by the present day. SD Snatcher follows more in line with the trope with "Lucifer-Beta" (the New and Improved virus) and "L-Angel" (the antidote). | |

Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator: There is a pill called Wonka-Vite which makes people younger. The cure for those who are aged too young —that is to say, out of existence, which happened to the Oompa-Loompas he tested the prototypes on— is a Rapid Aging liquid called Vita-Wonk. | |

5 Elementos: Subverted. The Dawn Project isn't about creating a cure for the Dusk virus —in fact, the virus is implied to have been extinct back then—, but about creating a Power Nullifier that would allow virus elementals to touch other people. Then again, the Dawn Project is actually a cover to recreate the Dusk virus. | |
