CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 193

An end user is browsing the Internet when multiple browser pages open by themselves. The user notices the PC is running slowly, even while not browsing the
Internet.
Which of the following actions should the user take?

Answer options

• A. Update antivirus definitions
• B. Install anti-malware software
• C. Enable the pop-up blocker
• D. Reboot the PC

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as installing anti-malware software can help detect and remove any malicious programs causing the unwanted behavior. While updating antivirus definitions (A) is useful, it may not address specific malware issues. Enabling the pop-up blocker (C) won't resolve the underlying problem, and rebooting the PC (D) is a temporary fix that does not eliminate the cause of the issue.
