Improving Network Security

Question 7 • NC-Foundations of Information Technology

Which of the following statements describes antivirus software?

Answer
A
It keeps viruses from getting into computer networks.
B
It identifies and removes viruses in computers.
C
It keeps computer systems from crashing due to memory overload.
D
It identifies and isolates old files that take up too much space.

Explanation

Antivirus software scans computers for malicious programs, such as viruses, and can remove or quarantine them. This matches “It identifies and removes viruses in computers.” Preventing every virus from entering a network is not its sole function, and managing memory overload or old files is handled by other tools.
