Forwarding the attachment to colleagues and friends without knowing its content can inadvertently spread any potential threats. Deleting the email without opening it is the safest course of action to avoid any potential risks. Keeping the email in the inbox without taking any action leaves the possibility of accidentally opening the attachment, which is not recommended.

    Explanation
    Anti virus programs are specifically designed to detect and remove viruses from a computer system. These programs scan files and programs for known patterns or signatures of viruses, as well as behavior that may indicate the presence of a virus. They also often include real-time protection, which actively monitors the system for any suspicious activity or attempts by viruses to infect the system. Anti malware programs, on the other hand, are more general and can detect and remove a wider range of malicious software, including viruses, spyware, adware, and other types of malware.

    Explanation
    WPA2 is the most commonly used security protocol in Wi-Fi networks. It provides a higher level of security compared to WPA and WPS. WPA2 uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm, which is more secure than the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) used by WPA. WPA2 also supports stronger authentication methods, such as 802.1X, which enhances the overall security of the network. Therefore, WPA2 is the preferred choice for securing Wi-Fi networks.

    • Anti virus

This helps to protect the user's local machine from potential threats and attacks, as any malicious activity or malware encountered during browsing is contained within the remote environment. Additionally, remote browser access often includes additional security features such as encryption and authentication, further enhancing protection against hacking attempts.
