The correct answer is: B. The CD-ROM stops functioning.
A virus is a malicious software program that can replicate itself and spread from one computer to another. Viruses can cause a variety of problems, including data loss, system crashes, and identity theft.
Some common symptoms of a virus infection include:
- Existing program files and icons disappear.
- The Web browser opens to an unusual home page.
- Odd messages or images are displayed on the screen.
- The computer runs slowly or crashes frequently.
- Files are encrypted or deleted.
- Sensitive information is stolen.
If you suspect that your computer is infected with a virus, it is important to take action immediately. You can scan your computer for viruses using an antivirus program, and you can remove any viruses that are found. You should also update your software and security settings to protect your computer from future infections.
The CD-ROM stopping functioning is not a common symptom of a virus infection. It is more likely that the CD-ROM is damaged or not properly inserted. If you are having problems with your CD-ROM, you can try cleaning it or inserting it again. If the problem persists, you may need to replace the CD-ROM.
