A technician has verified a computer is infected with malware. The technician isolates the system and updates the anti-malware software. Which of the following should the technician do next?
A.
Run one scan and schedule future scans.
B.
Back up the uninfected files and reimage the computer.
C.
Restore the clean backup copies of the infected files.
D.
Run repeated remediation scans until the malware is removed.
1. Investigate and verify malware symptoms
2. Quarantine infected systems
3. Disable System Restore in Windows
4. Remediate infected systems <<< You are here
a. Update anti-malware software
b. Scanning and removal techniques (e.g., safe mode, preinstallation environment)
5. Schedule scans and run updates
6. Enable System Restore and create a restore point in Windows
7. Educate the end user
On further research, I think D is right:
Repeated remediation scans offer a more targeted approach:
Modern anti-malware software often comes equipped with remediation capabilities that not only detect but also attempt to remove the malware.
Running repeated scans increases the likelihood of detecting and eliminating all traces of the malware.
Monitoring the results of each scan allows the technician to verify successful removal before considering alternative solutions like reimaging
I did not know this.
After isolating the infected system and updating the anti-malware software, the next step should be to run repeated remediation scans until the malware is removed. So, the correct option is:
D. Run repeated remediation scans until the malware is removed.
Running repeated scans ensures thorough detection and removal of the malware from the system. It's important to continue scanning until the system is confirmed to be clean to prevent any potential re-infection or persistence of the malware.
