Passed both my core 1 and core 2 A+ exams with 85% and 83% respectively thanks to this site, I'd say around 70% of the questions were on there. Word of warning, only 2 of the performance based questions on this site were on there. The other 2 were help desk related and you've got to troubleshoot 4 tickets overall (I believe one was printer related, one was similar to the 'failed boot' pbq, one was to do with a network share, and I cant remember the last one. So revise those topics!)

Welp ladies and gentlemen this concludes the end of this con artist of a website. If you paid for the services like my dumb ass i hope you're still able to pass the core 2 practice exam. So many wrong answers and not enough rage in my body to go around. Whoever created some of these questions is a mental terrorist

you have access to real questions that will actually appear on the exam. What did you expect? Just research the question displaying the wrong answer, memorize it and go through all 484 questions until it gets stuck in your brain. With this website at least 85-90% of the questions APPEAR on the actual exam

It’s the material you paid for some guy stole the questions to his best ability and certainly he failed the test. Your paying for a brain dump which is what this is someone’s brain dump of the test. Well worth it imo you should be able to read the comments and use your skills to determine what’s right but also know some questions were copied wrong it’s not perfect but it’s better than nothing.

IDC what anyone says, the answer is A. Its common sense. You downloaded a free antivirus (which most of the time its malicious), its telling you that you have all of these viruses in the world and it doesn't fix it nor prevent it (something that an antivirus is supposed to do) AND its telling you to call a number (which will be some scammer trying to convince you to pay to remove these viruses)...THIS CRIES ROGUE ANTIVIRUS. I watch videos like this all the time on youtube from Kitboga and ScammerPayback.

Nothing in life is FREE... Definitely rogue anti-virus, but why did it tell the user to call for help on itself? haha

Agree here. It doesn't say it's a WINDOWS computer and yes, updating the OS sounds great... but wouldn't it be stupid because the OS updates do NOT fix everything. This system would be riddled with worms, trojans, zero-days; god knows what. In reality, I would reimage the damn thing but A has to be the answer for what banditring is stating.

OS updates sometimes contain security patches that could be a fix for the problem specified so I am assuming it would be just a best practice thing to always be on the latest OS version.
