CompTIA A+ 220-1102 Practice Question
A user reports that their workstation is experiencing significant slowdowns and frequent pop-up ads for products they did not search for online. After a preliminary investigation, you suspect the presence of potentially unwanted software.
What is the best action to take?
Update the browser to block pop-up ads from appearing.
Reinstall the operating system to eliminate all software issues.
Deactivate the firewall to allow for increased performance.
Run a dedicated anti-malware tool to scan and remove the suspected software.
