A technician has been dispatched to resolve a malware problem on a user's workstation. The antivirus program discovered several hundred potential malware items on the workstation and removed them successfully. The technician decides to schedule daily scans on the system, enables System Restore, and creates a restore point. Which of the following should the technician do NEXT?
  • A.Run the scan again to ensure all malware has been removed
  • B.Quarantine the infected workstation from the network
  • C.Install all of the latest Windows Updates to patch the system
  • D.Educate the user on safe browsing practices
Explanation
Athough I don't disagree that the "best" answer should be part of the process but the CompTIA malware best practices does not list that as an option. Instead, educating the user is the only option to choose based on CompTIA's process.
