NEW QUESTION 5
A corporate smartphone was stored for five months after setup. During this time, the company did not have any system updates. When the phone is turned on, an application runs, but it crashes intermittently. Which of the following should a technician do next?

• A. Restart the phone.
• B. Reimage the OS.
• C. Reinstall the application.
• D. Clear the cache.

Answer: C

Explanation:
Reinstalling the application is the best option to fix the intermittent crashing of the application on the corporate smartphone. Reinstalling the application will ensure that the latest version of the app is installed, which may have bug fixes and compatibility updates that can resolve the crashing issue. Reinstalling the app will also clear any corrupted or outdated data or cache that may cause the app to malfunction.
The other options are not as effective or appropriate as reinstalling the app. Restarting the phone may temporarily fix the issue, but it will not address the root cause of the app crashing, which may be related to the app itself or its data. Reimaging the OS is a drastic and unnecessary measure that will erase all the data and settings on the phone and restore it to its factory state. This will also remove all the other apps and files that may be important for the corporate use of the phone. Clearing the cache may help to free up some space and improve the performance of the app, but it will not update the app or fix any bugs that may cause the app to crash.

NEW QUESTION 7
A technician, who is working at a local office, has found multiple copies of home edition software installed on computers. Which of the following does this MOST likely violate?

• A. EULA
• B. Pll
• C. DRM
• D. Open-source agreement

Answer: A

Explanation:
The installation of home edition software on computers at a local office most likely violates the EULA. EULA stands for End User License Agreement and is a legal contract that specifies the terms and conditions for using a software product or service. EULA typically covers topics such as license scope, duration and limitations, rights and obligations of the parties, warranties and disclaimers, liability and indemnity clauses, and termination procedures. EULA may also restrict the use of home edition software to personal or non- commercial purposes only, and prohibit the use of home edition software in business or professional settings. Violating EULA may result in legal actions or penalties from the software vendor or developer. PII stands for Personally Identifiable Information and is any information that can be used to identify or locate an individual, such as name, address, phone number, email address, social security number or credit card number. PII is not related to software installation or licensing but to data protection and privacy. DRM stands for Digital Rights Management and is a technology that controls or restricts the access and
use of digital content, such as music, movies, books or games. DRM is not related to software installation or licensing but to content distribution and piracy prevention. Open- source agreement is a type of license that allows users to access, modify and distribute the source code of a software product or service freely and openly. Open-source agreement does not restrict the use of software to home edition only but encourages collaboration and innovation among developers and users.

NEW QUESTION 8
A user's system is infected with malware. A technician updates the anti-malware software and runs a scan that removes the malware. After the user reboots the system, it once again becomes infected with malware. Which of the following will MOST likely help to permanently remove the malware?

• A. Enabling System Restore
• B. Educating the user
• C. Booting into safe mode
• D. Scheduling a scan

Answer: B

Explanation:
Although updating the anti-malware software and running scans are important steps in removing malware, they may not be sufficient to permanently remove the malware if the user keeps engaging in behaviors that leave the system vulnerable, such as downloading unknown files or visiting malicious websites. Therefore, educating the user on safe computing practices is the best way to prevent future infections and permanently remove the malware.
Enabling System Restore, Booting into safe mode, and scheduling a scan are not the most efficient ways to permanently remove the malware. Enabling System Restore and Booting into safe mode may help in some cases, but they may not be sufficient to permanently remove the malware. Scheduling a scan is also important for detecting and removing malware, but it may not be sufficient to prevent future infections.

• A. Isolate the machine from the network.
• B. Scan the system for hidden files.
• C. Disable unused ports.
• D. Install antivirus software.
• E. Reconfigure the firewall.

Answer: A

Explanation:
Isolating the machine from the network is a good practice when troubleshooting a PC that is suspected of being infected with malware. This can prevent the malware from spreading to other devices on the network or communicating with external servers that may control or exploit the malware. Isolating the machine can be done by disconnecting the network cable, disabling the wireless adapter, or blocking the network traffic with a firewall.

NEW QUESTION 10
The courts determined that a cybercrimes case could no longer be prosecuted due to the agency's handling of evidence. Which of the following was MOST likely violated during the investigation?

• A. Open-source software
• B. EULA
• C. Chain of custody
• D. AUP

Answer: C

Explanation:
Chain of custody is a process that documents how evidence is collected, handled, stored and transferred during a cybercrime investigation. It ensures that the evidence is authentic, reliable and admissible in court. If the chain of custody is violated during an investigation, it can compromise the integrity of the evidence and lead to the case being dismissed. Open-source software, EULA (end-user license agreement) and AUP (acceptable use policy) are not related to cybercrime investigations or evidence handling.

• D. Install the software and run a full system scan with antivirus software to confirm that the operating system is free of malicious software.

Answer: C

Explanation:
Installing new software on an organization’s system or device can have various implications, such as compatibility, security, performance, licensing, and compliance issues. Therefore, it is important to follow the best practices for software installation, such as doing research on the software, checking the system requirements, scanning the installation file for malware, and obtaining the proper license345. The technician should not install the software without formal approval from the management team, as this could violate the organization’s policies or regulations. The technician should also not install the software without investigating the software and its impact on the organization, as this could introduce potential risks or problems to the system or device. The technician should indicate to the developer that formal approval is needed, and then work with the IT team to evaluate the software and its suitability for the organization before installing it

NEW QUESTION 12
An administrator responded to an incident where an employee copied financial data to a portable hard drive and then left the company with the data. The administrator documentedthe movement of the evidence. Which of the following concepts did the administrator demonstrate?

• A. Preserving chain of custody
• B. Implementing data protection policies
• C. Informing law enforcement
• D. Creating a summary of the incident

Answer: A

Explanation:
Preserving chain of custody is a concept that refers to the documentation and tracking of who handled, accessed, modified, or transferred a piece of evidence, when, where, why, and how. Preserving chain of custody can help establish the authenticity, integrity, and reliability of the evidence, as well as prevent tampering, alteration, or loss of the evidence. An administrator who documented the movement of the evidence demonstrated the concept of preserving chain of custody. Implementing data protection policies, informing law enforcement, and creating a summary of the incident are not concepts that describe the action of documenting the movement of the evidence.

NEW QUESTION 13
A company's assets are scanned annually. Which of the following will most likely help the company gain a holistic view of asset cost?

• A. Creating a database
• B. Assigning users to assets
• C. Inventorying asset tags
• D. Updating the procurement account owners

Answer: A

Explanation:
Creating a database is the most likely option to help the company gain a holistic view of asset cost. A database can store and organize information about the assets, such as purchase date, depreciation value, maintenance cost, warranty status, and replacement cost. Assigning users to assets, inventorying asset tags, and updating the procurement account owners are important steps for asset management, but they do not directly provide a holistic view of asset cost.
