I’m a bit confused; I thought boot sector viruses were more about the system startup. Could it really be macro virus?

I practiced a similar question last week, and I think it was about macro viruses too. They definitely attach to documents, so I’m leaning towards C.

I remember studying about different types of viruses, and I feel like the Trojan horse is more about disguising itself rather than attaching to files.

I think a macro virus is the right answer since it specifically attaches to files and templates, but I'm not completely sure.

Based on the explanation provided, C seems like the best fit. Macro viruses are known to attach themselves to files and templates, which is what the question is asking about. I feel confident in choosing that option.

I'm a bit confused on the differences between these virus types. Can someone remind me what makes a macro virus distinct from the others? I want to make sure I select the right answer.

Okay, let me see. A macro virus is a script that gets embedded in a document, like a Word file or Excel spreadsheet. That sounds like the description here, so I'm going to go with C.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know boot sector viruses and Trojan horses, but I can't remember the details on macro viruses. I'll have to think this through carefully.
