A system file that has been patched several times becomes infected with a virus,but the antivirus software warns that disinfecting the file may damage it. Which is of the following is the best choice?
A.
You should replace the file with the original version from master media.
B.
You should proceed with automated disinfection.
C.
You should do more research on the virus.
D.
You should restore an uninfected version of the patched file from backup media.
Explanation:
To be sure, you should replace the file with an original copy. If you cannot guarantee the integrity of all files within the system, you should re-install the system from scratch.
Shouldn’t this be A ?
Explanation seems to support A, also by patching multiple times and not stating when it becomes infected, it might be unsafe to do as D says.
You do D then A if necessary.
D makes more since otherwise you might have issues because you would then have an unpatched filed.
