Windows Operating System Fundamentals — Question 32

After you remove malicious software from an infected computer, the user still experiences problems. When the user opens the browser, it redirects to compromised websites.
You need to troubleshoot the problem.
Which three areas should you investigate? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. The system's hosts file
• B. The proxy settings
• C. The Windows Action Center
• D. The browser's security zone settings
• E. The browser's home page setting

Correct answer: C, D, E

Explanation

The Windows Action Center (C), browser's security zone settings (D), and browser's home page setting (E) are crucial areas to investigate as they can directly influence browser behavior and redirection issues. The hosts file (A) and proxy settings (B) are less likely to be the cause of redirection in this scenario, especially after malware removal.
