CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 152

A systems administrator is attempting to install a package on a server. After downloading the package from the internet and trying to launch it, the installation is blocked by the antivirus on the server. Which of the following must be completed before launching the installation package again?

Answer options

• A. Creating an exclusion to the antivirus for the application
• B. Disabling real-time scanning by the antivirus
• C. Validating the checksum for the downloaded installation package
• D. Checking for corruption of the downloaded installation package

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Creating an exclusion for the application in the antivirus settings allows the installation to proceed without interference from the antivirus software. Disabling real-time scanning (option B) is not advisable due to security risks, while validating the checksum (option C) and checking for corruption (option D) are important steps, but they do not directly address the antivirus blocking the installation.
