Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

The .dmg file type in macOS requires mounting before installation. .dmg files are disk image files used to distribute software on macOS. When opened, they mount a virtual disk on the desktop, from which the application can be installed. Other file types like .pkg, .zip, and .app have different processes for installation and do not require mounting in the same way.

Well, at least the user's laptop is earning some extra cash with those cryptominers! Though I doubt they'll be happy about the browser redirects. Gotta love tech problems with a side of comedy.

Keylogger, no doubt about it. The redirects and apps opening on their own are classic signs of a keylogger in action.

I'd go with malware. It's a catch-all term, but it sounds like the user's system is infected with something nasty.

Cryptominers, definitely. That's the latest trend in malicious software, and it fits the symptoms perfectly.
