If an executable program is attached to an e-mail and the user is unsure about the source, then he
should delete the e-mail immediately.
Moreover, users should not download any applications or executable files from unknown sources,
and should be careful when exchanging files
with other users.
Malware are malicious software programs that cause damage to a computer, server, or computer
network. All software such as a virus,
spyware, and Trojan, etc., are malware.
Answer A is incorrect. Preventing users from executing any programs will create problems, as they
will not be able to do their work
properly. This will affect users’ performance and total productivity.
Answer B is incorrect. Assigning Read-Only permission to the users for accessing the hard disk drives
will prevent them from writing or
saving any files on the hard disk. This will also not be a good practice.
