From Wiki so it must be right :rolleyes: :D

You mean in the question which asks which is NOT an activity of spyware, with the answer being one of the other options rather than a keylogger?

So you're disputing the fact they've said a keylogger is spyware because a keylogger is spyware?

Should read more careful :dunce: Still imo no2 would be classed as Adware :p:

At the end of the day it`s all Malware and their right that AV`s are behind the curve, i mean most don`t even share samples which is just wrong!!!

Maybe this will all change soon ;)

Man I'd sure hope they'd update an information security questionnaire at least once in five years...

Lol! Indeed, downloading images is insecure but accepting PDFs from unknown sources that just happen to rely on one of the buggiest, insecure, and exploit-ridden pieces of software out there...

... I don't see the problem with that. :rolleyes:

I'd also dispute the answer to question 9, especially given their explanation contradicts itself. There's never a good reason for ordinary end users to be emailing each other .exe files. That's why every sane email provider has banned it.

Funny enough that's the only question I got "wrong" but apparently saying you should never open .exe files from emails results in getting ten points deducted. :rolleyes:

Your final score is 18 out of 30.
You’re headed in the right direction, but your knowledge needs straightening out a bit.
Thought I would get a lower score as I'm not very clued up on this as I leave all this to my eldest son.
