CompTIA A+ 220-1102 (V14) Practice Question

The correct answer is to reimage the hard drive. Reimaging is the process of removing the current operating system and replacing it with a clean, known-good image. This is the most effective solution for severe malware infections and widespread OS corruption when other repair methods, like anti-malware scans and system file checks, have failed. Running System File Checker again would likely be ineffective as previous repair attempts failed. Rolling back updates is irrelevant to a malware infection. Disabling System Restore is a step in malware removal to prevent reinfection from a restore point, but it does not fix the underlying corruption or remove the active malware.
