    Create a new System Restore point to preserve current system configurations
  4. D

Cevap

The correct pre-scan procedures are isolating the system from the network and disabling System Restore.
According to the CompTIA 7-step malware removal methodology, after identifying symptoms, the technician must isolate the infected system by disconnecting network links to halt potential malware spread and command-and-control communication. Following isolation, the technician must disable System Restore to delete infected restore points before running remediation tools.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the proper sequence of pre-remediation steps in the standard CompTIA 7-step malware removal process.
The initial steps in order are: 1. Identify symptoms, 2. Isolate infected systems, 3. Disable System Restore, 4. Remediate infected systems.
Isolation and disabling System Restore must occur before any scanning or cleaning phase begins.
2
Select the actions that correspond to isolating the computer and handling restore points.
Disconnecting network cables/Wi-Fi isolates the machine, while disabling System Restore clears infected shadow copies.
Scanning an unisolated machine risks network propagation, and leaving System Restore active risks reinfection from backed-up shadow copies.
