CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1202) — Question 118

An organization is experiencing an increased number of issues. A technician notices applications that are not installed by default. Users are reporting an increased number of system prompts for software licensing. Which of the following would the security team most likely do to remediate the root cause?

Answer options

• A. Deploy an internal PKI to filter encrypted web traffic.
• B. Remove users from the local admin group.
• C. Implement stronger controls to block suspicious websites.
• D. Enable stricter UAC settings on Windows.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Enabling stricter UAC settings on Windows helps prevent unauthorized changes to the system, reducing the likelihood of unwanted applications being installed. The other options, while potentially useful for different security aspects, do not directly address the root cause of unauthorized software installation and licensing prompts.
