I think A is best. Back to back repeated scans aren't more effective than just one. Scheduling them for weekly or monthly should be sufficient.

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. From Chat GPT.
