• Question 832:

  After a failed attempt to open an email attachment for an unexpected overdue invoice, a smartphone user experiences abnormal performance when using their mobile browser and other applications. The user restarts the device, but the issue persists.

  Which of the following actions should the user take next?

  B. Delete the email containing the attachment
  C. Wipe the device and reset it to factory defaults
  D. Uninstall and reinstall the mobile browser
  C. Wipe the device and reset it to factory defaults

  ---

  Explanation

  In this case, abnormal behavior after opening a suspicious email suggests malware might have infected the device. A full factory reset is recommended to remove any persistent malware, especially when a restart does not resolve the issue.

  Deleting the email or reinstalling the browser will not remove the malware already on the device.

• Question 833:

  A technician is investigating an employee's smartphone that has the following symptoms

  1. The device is hot even when it is not in use.

  2. applications crash, especially when others are launched

  3. Certain applications, such as GPS, are in portrait mode when they should be in landscape mode

  Explanation

  The technician can close unnecessary applications and turn on autorotation to resolve these issues with minimal impact. Autorotation can help the device to switch between portrait and landscape modes automatically. Closing unnecessary applications can help to free up the device's memory and reduce the device's temperature1

• Question 834:

  After a computer upgrade at an imaging lab. the upgraded computers are not able to obtain an IP address.

  Which of the following is most likely the issue?

  A. TheswitchIs only providing IPv6 addresses.
  B. TheOS must be updated to be compatible with the imaging software.
  C. Theswitchhas port security enabled.
  D. Theswitchdoes not support multicast traffic.
  C. Theswitchhas port security enabled.

  ---

  Explanation

  When upgraded computers are not able to obtain an IP address, the issue often lies in the network configuration.

  Option A: The switch is only providing IPv6 addresses.This is unlikely because if the switch were providing IPv6 addresses, the devices would still receive an IP address, albeit an IPv6 one. The issue described indicates no IP address is

  being obtained at all.

  Option B: The OS must be updated to be compatible with the imaging software.This option is unrelated to obtaining an IP address. Compatibility with imaging software would not prevent the devices from getting an IP address. Option C: The

  switch has port security enabled.Correct Answer. Port security on a switch restricts access based on MAC addresses. If the MAC addresses of the upgraded computers are not recognized or have not been added to the allowed list, the switch

  will not provide network access, resulting in the computers not obtaining an IP address.

  Option D: The switch does not support multicast traffic.This is unrelated to obtaining an IP address. Multicast traffic deals with specific types of network communication and would not affect the basic DHCP IP address assignment process.

  A. DRM
  B. NDA
  C. EULA
  D. MOU
  C. EULA

  ---

  Explanation

  The most likely agreement in use here is a EULA (End User License Agreement). This is a legally binding agreement between the user and the software developer, outlining the terms and conditions that the user must agree to in order to use the software. It is important that the user understands and agrees to the EULA before they can proceed with downloading and installing the software. As stated in the CompTIA A+ Core 2 exam objectives, users should be aware of the EULA before downloading any software.
