While copying files from a floppy disk, a user introduced a virus into the network. Which of the following would MOST effectively detect the existence of the virus?
A.
A scan of all floppy disks before use
B.
A virus monitor on the network file server
C.
Scheduled daily scans of all network drives
D.
A virus monitor on the user’s personal computer
Explanation:
Scheduled daily scans of all network drives will detect the presence of a virus after the infection has occurred. All of the other choices are controls designed to prevent a computer virus from infecting the system.
Scan before copy will detect the virus on the source rather than a scanner that will detect it on the target (or network).
