Answer:

Factors that can affect drive thrashing are;

The computer memory modules

Hard drives

Running processes

Paging file  

Explanation:

Drive thrashing also known as disk thrashing occurs due to over stressing the hard drives by moving data from the from virtual memory,(paging file) to system memory,(RAM) and back again such that the memory becomes exhausted resulting in slow performance or system halting.

Factors that can affect drive thrashing are the computer memory modules, hard drives, running processes, and paging file  

When thrashing occurs, the computer performance is slowed down or halts as the hard drives resources has reached close to capacity.

What are the differences between a trap (aka software interrupt) and an interrupt (hardware interrupt)? What is the use of each
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

Trap is a software interrupt that occurs when there is a system call, while hardware interrupt occurs when a hardware component needs urgent attention.

Explanation:

Interrupt is an input signal that disrupt the activities of a computer system, giving immediate attention to a hardware or software request.

In trap interrupt, the system activities are stop for a routine kernel mode operation, since it has a higher priority than the user mode. At the end of the interrupt, it switches control to the user mode.

The hardware interrupt is a signal from hardware devices like the input/output devices, storage and even peripheral devices that draws an immediate attention of the processor, stopping and saving other activities and executing the event with an interrupt handler.

What types of storage can be used to access your data on another computer?
Ivenika [448]
<span>You could use cloud storage. Basically, the things you save are actually saved on another computer, that is, on another server, that is used as a hard drive for many pcs. You can access the cloud storage if you have internet and it works like a normal hard drive. There are even laptops that don't have storage other than cloud storage.</span>

A friend has a CD of one of your favorite artists and has offered to let you copy it.
creativ13 [48]
No; copyright laws protect this artist's rights and I need to purchase the CD if I want it.  

This is due to copyrights being applied at the time of fixation.  In other words, as soon as the words or lyrics have been placed on paper, recorded or put in a computer the ARTIST is protected.

A security administrator is reviewing the following information from a file that was found on a compromised host: Which of the f
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

C. Trojan

Explanation:

In Cybersecurity, vulnerability can be defined as any weakness, flaw or defect found in a software application or network and are exploitable by an attacker or hacker to gain an unauthorized access or privileges to sensitive data in a computer system.

This ultimately implies that, vulnerability in a network avail attackers or any threat agent the opportunity to leverage on the flaws, errors, weaknesses or defects found in order to compromise the security of the network.

In this scenario, a security administrator is reviewing the following information from a file that was found on a compromised host: "cat suspiciousfile.txt."

Some of the ways to prevent vulnerability in a network are;

1. Ensure you use a very strong password with complexity through the use of alphanumerics.

2. You should use a two-way authentication service.

3. You should use encrypting software applications or services.
