CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1202) — Question 97
A user wants to use a popular search engine. When the user enters the URL in the address bar. the web page displays the following message instead of the expected search engine:
The antivirus has expired.
Which of the following would most likely cause this issue?
Answer options
- A. Random pop-ups
- B. Browser redirection
- C. Certificate warnings
- D. Internet failure
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The message indicating that the antivirus has expired suggests that the user is being redirected to a different page, likely due to a browser redirection caused by malicious software or a compromised system. The other options, such as random pop-ups, certificate warnings, and internet failure, do not directly relate to the antivirus message or explain why the user is unable to reach the intended search engine.
