Malware — CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) Practice Questions

Malware is a broad category covering any software intentionally designed to harm, steal data from, or gain unauthorized access to a computer system. The A+ Core 2 exam requires candidates to identify types of malware including viruses, worms, ransomware, spyware, adware, rootkits, and keyloggers, along with the symptoms each typically produces. Technicians must also follow the CompTIA-defined malware removal process, which includes identifying symptoms, quarantining the device, disabling System Restore, and remediating in safe mode before restoring normal operation. This topic appears across multiple exam objectives in both the Security and Troubleshooting domains.
