Question #4
Joe, a customer, calls a technician to report a remote computer is demonstrate erratic behavior while he is working on it. The technician verifies the files and directories Joe is working on locally cannot be open in any application, and the computer is extremely slow. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause of this issue?
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Malware commonly takes ownership of files and strips permissions, which blocks the user from opening local files while the machine bogs down. Disappearing files or startup bloat would not explain the permission errors.
Question #5

A technician has been asked to assist the sales representative with saving files. Which of the following is the BEST method to implement to prevent any data loss for the sales representative?
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Redundant cloud storage keeps the files synchronized and available from anywhere during the six-month trip and protects against loss if the laptop is damaged or stolen; local media travels with the laptop and shares its risk.
