CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 357

Malware is installed on a device after a user clicks on a link in a suspicious email. Which of the following is the best way to remove the malware?

Answer options

• A. Run System Restore.
• B. Place in recovery mode.
• C. Schedule a scan.
• D. Restart the PC.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The most effective way to remove malware is to schedule a scan, as this allows the antivirus software to identify and eliminate the malicious software. Running System Restore may revert the system to a previous state but won't specifically target the malware. Recovery mode can help troubleshoot, but it's not a direct method for malware removal. Restarting the PC does not address the malware issue at all.
