The answer is correct. That's quarantining the system, which is the second step in the malware removal process, it comes after Identifying and researching malware symptoms. The seven steps are: 1. Identify and research malware symptoms. 2. Quarantine the infected systems. 3. Disable System Restore (in Windows). 4. Remediate the infected systems. A. Update the anti-malware software. B. Scan and use removal techniques (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. A good mnemonic to use is I (Identify) Question (Q- Quarantine) Dad's (D- Disable) Reasons (R- Remediate) Some (S- Schedule) Early (Enable) Evenings (E- Educate)

This is a great saying, but doesn't it leave out create restore point. So it should be quarantine, disable, remediate, schedule, re-enable, create restore point, then educate
