Polymorphic (literally, many forms) viruses change form to avoid detection. These types of viruses attack your system, display a message on your computer, and delete files on your system. The virus will attempt to hide from your antivirus software. Frequently, the virus will encrypt parts of itself to avoid detection. When the virus does this, it's referred to as mutation. The mutation process makes it hard for antivirus software to detect common characteristics of the virus.

If an update causes problems, you can use the ...(?)... to uninstall it.

On a Windows 7 workstation, there is one volume formatted with NTFS. The Developers group has Modify access to the C:\dev directory. You copy the folder to the C:\operations folder, to which the Developers group has Read access. What level of permissions will the Developers group have to the new C:\operations\dev directory?

When a file or folder is copied on NTFS volumes, the new file or folder will inherit its permissions from its new parent folder. The old permissions will be discarded. However, when files and folders are moved, versus copying them, the original permissions are retained at the new location.

On the Internet, you get a news flash that the developer of one of your core applications found a security flaw. They will issue a patch for it in two days. Before you can install the patch, it's clear that the flaw has been exploited and someone has illegally accessed your network. What type of attack is this?

When a hole is found in a web browser or other software and attackers begin exploiting it the very day it is discovered by the developer (bypassing the one- to two-day response time that many software providers need to put out a patch once the hole has been found), it is known as a zero-day attack (or exploit).

One of your users has a MacBook Pro, and an application appears to have crashed. What can she use to force the app to close?

You are configuring a secondary hard drive using Disk Management in Windows Vista. When setting up basic storage, which two types of partitions can you create? (Choose two.)
