Selected Answer: B
Use bootable antivirus media to scan the system. Here's why: Bootable antivirus media: When a virus persists after a full scan and reboot, it might be deeply embedded in the operating system or even in parts of the system that can only be accessed before the OS is fully loaded. Using bootable antivirus media allows the antivirus to scan and clean the system before the virus has a chance to load and resist removal.

Selected Answer: B
The correct answer is B. Use bootable antivirus media to scan the system. Explanation: Bootable antivirus media allows the user to run a virus scan outside the infected operating system. Since the virus is still present after a full scan and reboot, it might be actively interfering with the OS, preventing its removal. By booting from antivirus media, the scan is performed in a clean environment, ensuring the virus is not running and can be effectively removed.
