Question

Ronald downloads a movie from the Internet onto his company's computer. During this process, his system gets infected with a virus. The virus spreads rapidly in the company's network causing the server to crash. This type of virus is most likely to be ________. A) spam B) adware C) phishing mail D) a worm E) a Trojan horse

Answer 1

The correct answer to the following question will be Option D (a worm).

Step-by-step explanation:

A PC worm seems to be a form of harmful, self-replicating software that often infects other machines while remaining onto corrupted devices.

• Worms may often go overlooked before their excessive propagation cycle utilizes machine resources, stopping the encrypted file as well as slowing it down.
• The virus is quickly spreading inside the company's servers leading the server or computer to fail.

The other three options are not related to the given scenario. So that Option D is the right answer.
