• Question 331:

  A company wants to take advantage of modern technology and transition away from face- to-face meetings. Which of the following types of software would benefit the company the most? (Select two).

  A. Videoconferencing
  B. File transfer
  C. Screen-sharing
  D. Financial
  E. Remote access
  F. Record-keeping
  A. Videoconferencing
  C. Screen-sharing

  ---

  Explanation

  For a company looking to transition away from face-to-face meetings, videoconferencing and screen-sharing software would be most beneficial. Videoconferencing software allows participants to conduct virtual meetings with audio and video capabilities, effectively simulating a face-to-face interaction without the need for physical presence. This can greatly reduce travel costs and time while maintaining the personal touch of meetings. Screen-sharing enables participants in a virtual meeting to view one another's computer screens in real time. This is particularly useful for presentations, collaborative work, and troubleshooting, as it allows for a more interactive and engaging meeting experience. Both technologies support the company's goal of leveraging modern technology to enhance communication and collaboration while reducing reliance on physical meetings.

• Question 332:

  A technician needs lo formal a USB drive to transfer 20GB of data from a Linux computer to a Windows computer. Which of the following filesystems will the technician MOST likely use?

  A. FAT32
  B. ext4
  C. NTFS
  D. exFAT
  C. NTFS

  ---

  Explanation

  Since Windows systems support FAT32 and NTFS "out of the box" and Linux supports a whole range of them including FAT32 and NTFS, it is highly recommended to format the partition or disk you want to share in either FAT32 or NTFS, but since FAT32 has a file size limit of 4.2 GB, if you happen to work with huge files, then it is better you use NTFS

• Question 333:

  A user reports a virus is on a PC. The user installs additional real-time protection antivirus software, and the PC begins performing extremely slow. Which of the following steps should the technician take to resolve the issue?

  A. Uninstall one antivirus software program and install a different one.
  B. Launch Windows Update, and then download and install OS updates.
  C. Activate real-time protection on both antivirus software programs.
  D. Enable the quarantine feature on both antivirus software programs.
  E. Remove the user-installed antivirus software program.
  E. Remove the user-installed antivirus software program.

  ---

  Explanation

  Having two antivirus programs running at the same time can cause performance issues, especially if both programs are running real-time protection. The technician should remove the user-installed antivirus software program and let the default antivirus program do its job. The reason I don't say A is the correct answer because it says "and install a different one", it's just leading to the same problem

• Question 334:

  Which of the following attacks can a hacker use to execute code on a user's computer when the user visits a specially prepared, malicious website?

  A. DoS
  B. Spoofing
  C. XSS
  D. SQL injection
  C. XSS

  ---

  Explanation

  Cross-site scripting (XSS) (Option C) allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by users. When the user visits the compromised site, the script runs in the user's browser, potentially allowing the attacker to steal data or

  perform unauthorized actions. XSS is a common vulnerability in web applications that allows code execution. DoS (Option A) disrupts services but doesn't involve executing code on a user's device. Spoofing (Option B) involves impersonating

  another device or user but doesn't execute code. SQL injection (Option D) attacks a database and is unrelated to executing code on the user's computer.

  Explanation with Core 2

  References:The PC is likely infected with ransomware. The immediate step should be to disconnect from the network to prevent the malware from spreading to other devices. Core 2 highlights steps to respond to malware incidents, such as disconnecting from the network as part of containment measures (Core 2 Objective 2.3).

• Question 337:

  A change advisory board did not approve a requested change due to the lack of alternative actions if implementation failed. Which of the following should be updated before requesting approval again?

  A. Scope of change
  B. Risk level
  C. Rollback plan
  D. End user acceptance
  C. Rollback plan

  ---

  Explanation

  The rollback plan should be updated before requesting approval again. A rollback plan is a plan for undoing a change if it causes problems, and it is an important part of any change management process. If the change advisory board did not approve the requested change due to the lack of alternative actions if implementation failed, then updating the rollback plan would be the best way to address this concern.

• Question 338:

  A change management review board denied an administrator's request for change. The administrator had provided the purpose and scope of the change, the date and time, and impacted systems with the risk analysis.

  Which of the following should be included to approve this change?

  A. End-user acceptance
  B. Cost analysis
  C. Rollback plan
  D. Standard maintenance window
  C. Rollback plan

  ---

  Explanation

  A rollback plan is essential for a change to be approved by a change management review board. It outlines the steps to reverse a change in case something goes wrong, minimizing downtime and mitigating risk. Other items like end-user

  acceptance and cost analysis are important but not typically the deciding factor for approval.

• Question 340:

  A technician is upgrading the Microsoft Windows 10 OS. Which of the following are required for the technician to safely upgrade the OS? (Select two).

  A. Release notes
  B. Antivirus software
  C. Backup of critical data
  D. Device drivers
  E. Word processing software
  F. Safe boot mode
  C. Backup of critical data
  D. Device drivers

  ---

  Explanation

  To safely upgrade the Microsoft Windows 10 OS, it is essential to backup critical data (C) and ensure that you have the necessary device drivers (D). Backing up critical data protects against potential data loss during the upgrade process. Having the correct device drivers ensures that the hardware components function properly with the new OS version, preventing issues like loss of functionality or compatibility problems.
