A IT support technician is troubleshooting a user's workstation where opening any website in the primary web browser results in immediate redirection to an ad-heavy third-party search engine. During initial investigation, the technician finds an unrecognized browser extension running and discovers that the system's local network settings have been changed to direct HTTP traffic through a suspicious external port. Which of the following actions should the technician perform to resolve the browser redirection and restore proper internet routing? (Select TWO.)
- Uninstall the unrecognized browser extension and restore the browser settings to default values.Cevap
- BClear the web browser temporary cache, cookies, and browsing history.
- Disable the unauthorized proxy server settings in the operating system's network configuration.Cevap
- DOpen Credential Manager and clear all stored web credentials and tokens.
Cevap
The correct actions are to uninstall the unrecognized browser extension while resetting browser defaults, and to disable the unauthorized proxy server settings in the operating system's network configuration.
Uninstalling the unrecognized extension removes the rogue browser component causing the redirection, while resetting browser defaults cleans up modified homepages and search configurations. Disabling the unauthorized proxy server in network settings restores standard web traffic routing.
