Click on the arrows to vote for the correct answer
A. B. C. D.D.
Out of the given options, the best option to prevent malware infections caused by internet browsing is D. Configure prompting before downloading content. This is because malware can be inadvertently downloaded through web pages and files, and by configuring the browser to prompt before downloading content, users can be made aware of what they are downloading and can decide whether to proceed or not.
Let's examine the other options as well:
A. Turn on private browsing: Private browsing is a mode in which the browser does not save the browsing history or any other data like cookies or temporary files. However, this does not prevent malware infections as the user can still download malicious files or access unsafe websites.
B. Delete browsing history on program close: This option will only delete the browsing history and other data like cookies or temporary files when the browser is closed. It will not prevent malware infections caused by internet browsing.
C. Notify when downloads are complete: This option will notify the user when a download is complete. However, it will not prevent the user from downloading malicious files or accessing unsafe websites.
In summary, the best option to prevent malware infections caused by internet browsing is to configure the browser to prompt before downloading content.
