Which action does ActiveAction technology utilize when a malware threat is detected?

ActiveAction technology is designed to respond swiftly and effectively when a malware threat is detected. One of its primary functions is to protect systems from infection by managing potentially harmful files proactively. When it identifies a malware threat, it initiates a process to back up the infected file and then deletes it. This action serves two key purposes: it removes the threat to the overall system security, and by backing up the file, it provides a safeguard that could allow for recovery if the deletion was made in error.

By taking this approach, ActiveAction minimizes the risk of malware spreading and compromises the integrity of the system, ensuring that users maintain a secure environment. The ability to back up the infected file before deletion also reflects a balanced strategy that prioritizes security while maintaining room for potential recovery or further analysis if needed. Such a mechanism reduces the chances of data loss while effectively handling the identified risk.

Other options, while relevant in different contexts, do not align with the specific proactive and protective measures characteristic of ActiveAction technology in dealing with malware threats.
