CompTIA ITF+ (FC0-U61) — Question 215

A small company has authorized an allowance for employees to purchase their own work computers. The administrator has noticed a sizable increase in network traffic following the arrival of the new computers. Which of the following is the most likely reason?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The increase in network traffic is likely due to online gaming activity, which can consume significant bandwidth. While unnecessary OEM software and lack of antivirus can also lead to issues, they are less directly related to network traffic spikes. Misconfigured firewalls are a concern but do not typically cause increased traffic; rather, they may restrict it.
