CompTIA A+ 220-1102 Practice Question

Quarantining the infected systems is essential because it prevents the malware from spreading to other devices or compromising additional data. By isolating the infected system, you can safely analyze and remediate the infection.

Restarting the computer may not specifically address the malware problem and could allow it to spread further. Removing suspected infected files without proper assessment can lead to loss of important data, while updating software does not directly address the immediate risk posed by the existing malware.
