Exam 212-89 topic 1 question 41 discussion

The answer is B

I think it's B. Because there is also a virus MAIL named A.

B is the one

B is a technical measure. Hoaxes are false claims about a specific topic (virus in this case). All the answers are meant to prompt the user to take an action except B

"Message caught by SPAM filter" is in my opinion not a symptom of virus hoax.

Re-reading the question. It's asking for which is not a symptom of virus hoax A. The message prompts the end user to forward it to his / her e-mail contact list and gain monetary benefits in doing so >> I guess this is not since virus hoax doesn't mention monetary benefits and only aims to scare the user regarding the non-existent virus B. The message from a known email id is caught by SPAM filters due to change of filter settings - not sure about this one C. The message warns to delete certain files if the user does not take appropriate action - virus scare D. The message prompts the user to install Anti-Virus - virus/anti virus scare

Explain: Virus hoax is a false warning about a computer virus. Typically, the warning arrives in an email note or is distributed through a note in a company's internal network. These notes are usually forwarded using distribution lists, and they will typically suggest that the recipient forward the note to other distribution lists

Can anyone explain this? ty
