Yup, A and B are classic signs of a virus!

Wait, faster CD-ROM access? That sounds off.
AN

No way, D is just weird.
SH

I think C could be a sign too, though.
LE
Leontine

A and B are definitely symptoms.
GA

I vaguely recall that sudden resource reduction is a common sign of malware, but I’m not confident about the second choice. Maybe B too?
DI
Diane

I practiced a similar question where corrupted files were a clear indicator of a virus. So I’m leaning towards B for sure.
SI
Simona

I'm not so sure about C. I feel like unclear monitor display could be due to hardware issues too, not just viruses.
LA
Laura

I think A and B are definitely symptoms of a virus attack. I remember studying that viruses can cause system slowdowns and file corruption.

This is a tricky one. I want to make sure I select the most definitive virus symptoms. The corrupted/missing files option seems like a no-brainer, but I'm not as confident about the other choices. I'll have to weigh them carefully.

Okay, let's see here. Sudden reduction in system resources and corrupted/missing files - those seem like clear signs of a virus. The other options are a bit more ambiguous. I'll go with those two.
HU

This looks like a straightforward question. I'll focus on the key symptoms of a virus attack - things like reduced system resources and corrupted/missing files.
ME
Meaghan

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know viruses can cause system issues, but I'm not sure if all the options listed are definitive symptoms. I'll have to think this through carefully.
LO

Okay, I've got this. The key is that the question is asking about guidelines for "national security and sensitive (although unclassified) information." That narrows it down - FIPS seems like the most relevant standard here.

The corrupted files and reduced system resources are classic signs of a virus. I wonder if the unclear monitor display is related to some kind of malware display tricks.
RO

I'm not sure about C and D, but I think A and B make sense. It's important to be vigilant about these symptoms.
SH
Shelba

Haha, I'm pretty sure the faster CD-ROM drive is just a trick question. Who even uses a CD-ROM these days? Gotta be B and A for sure.
ER
Erick

I'm not sure about the faster CD-ROM drive access being a symptom of a virus. That one seems a bit out of place compared to the other options.
ST

A) Sudden reduction in system resources.
RO
Romana

DE

I agree with you, Glenna. A sudden reduction in system resources and corrupted or missing files are definitely signs of a virus.
HE
Henriette

The unclear monitor display seems a bit odd as a symptom, but the corrupted files and reduced system resources are definitely things I've seen when dealing with viruses.

A) Sudden reduction in system resources.
GL
Glenna
