A. Isolate the machine from the network. The first step in troubleshooting a potentially compromised system is to isolate it from the network. This prevents the infected machine from spreading malware to other devices on the network. Once the machine is isolated, the technician can proceed with further analysis and remediation, such as scanning for malware, disabling unused ports, and reconfiguring the firewall. Google Gemini

Ah yes, obviously just take the time to go around and get an antivirus before isolating the machine and potentially have something spread on your network. Obviously!

Given the symptoms reported by the user, the next best step for the technician would be: D. Install antivirus software. Installing antivirus software will allow the technician to perform a comprehensive scan of the system to detect and remove any malware or viruses causing the pop-up windows and performance issues. This action helps address the immediate problem and ensures the security and integrity of the system.
