CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 319

A technician is cleaning malware on a Windows workstation.
Which of the following would MOST likely prevent a recurrence of the same malware?

Answer options

• A. Enable Shadow Copy.
• B. Disable System Restore.
• C. Update root certificates.
• D. Modify file permissions.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Disabling System Restore ensures that previous restore points, which may contain the malware, are not available, thus reducing the chance of the malware returning. Enabling Shadow Copy, updating root certificates, and modifying file permissions do not specifically address the issue of malware recurrence.
