A computer is slow, unknown messages appear, and unknown applications open. What is the most responsible step?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Run a security scan and avoid suspicious applications
Slowness, unexpected messages, and unknown applications can indicate malware or an unwanted program, although they are not proof by themselves. Running an updated security scan and avoiding suspicious links or applications is a careful first response. Password sharing is dangerous, indiscriminate deletion may destroy evidence or work, and clicking messages increases the risk.
