Which detects hacking tools and potentially unwanted programs?

• A. Detect Adware
• B. Detect Viruses
• C. Detect Suspicious Files
• D. Detect Hacking Tools and PUPs

Answer: (D)

The key idea is identifying software that can be misused or unwanted on a system. Hacking tools are programs that enable unauthorized access or security circumvention, and potentially unwanted programs are software users might not want, often bundled with other apps. A detection capability that targets both of these categories directly addresses a risky part of software installations that could lead to breaches or clutter the device with unwanted behavior.

This option is the best fit because it explicitly covers both hacking tools and PUPs, giving you protection against tools used for unauthorized access and software users typically want to avoid. The other options focus on narrower risks: adware targets advertising-enabled software, viruses focus on traditional malware, and suspicious files flag files that look risky but don’t specifically identify hacking tools or PUPs.
