Option D? Seriously? Next they'll be telling us to download free antivirus software from a sketchy website. Gotta love these security exam questions.

Option D, really? Guess they're trying to see if we're paying attention. I bet the guy who wrote this question has a pet rock named 'Malware' at home.

Hah, the 'trusted sources' one is a trick question if I ever saw one. You can't be too careful these days, even the 'trusted' guys might slip up.

Ah, I see what they're getting at. Trusting any source completely is a bad idea. Gotta stay vigilant, even with the 'trusted' ones.

I think the answer is C) Do not open files with file extensions such as .bat, .com, ,exe, .pif, .vbs, and so on. It's important to be cautious with file extensions.
