You're working late one night and notice that the hard drive on your new computer is very active even though you aren't doing anything on the computer and it isn't connected to the Internet. What is the most likely suspect?

Answer:

The most likely suspect for the hard drive being very active even though the computer is not being used and is not connected to the Internet is malware. Malware is a type of software that is designed to cause harm to a computer system, and it can often run in the background without the user's knowledge.
