(c) Give two applications software needed in the business centre.

Answer Details
This scenario tests knowledge of the services, devices and software of a computer business centre and of protecting a computer from infected removable media.
(a) Three computer services in the business centre.
- Typesetting/word processing and printing of documents.
- Internet browsing and email services.
- Photocopying, scanning and lamination (also computer training).
(b) Three devices required. A computer (PC), a printer, and a scanner (a photocopier, UPS or modem/router are also acceptable).
(c) Two application software needed. A word processor (for example Microsoft Word) and a web browser (for example Google Chrome); a spreadsheet or graphics package is also acceptable.
(d) Two precautions when accepting documents on movable devices.
- Install and keep an up-to-date antivirus program, and scan every flash drive or memory card for viruses before opening its files.
- Disable autorun/autoplay for removable media (and enable a firewall), so that malware cannot launch automatically when a device is plugged in.
Examination reminder: the danger from customers' movable devices is malware; the correct precautions are antivirus scanning and disabling autorun, not physical handling.
