Security Fundamentals — Question 65

You want to make your computer resistant to online hackers and malicious software.
What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Configure a forward proxy.
• B. Install anti-virus software.
• C. Enable spam filtering.
• D. Turn on Windows Firewall.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as installing anti-virus software provides direct protection against malware and viruses that can be used by hackers. While configuring a forward proxy, enabling spam filtering, and turning on Windows Firewall are useful security measures, they do not specifically target malware prevention as effectively as anti-virus software does.
