Which term describes alerts triggered by changes in computer protection status?

• A. Installation Error
• B. Signature File Updates
• C. Status Change Alerts
• D. No License

Answer: (C)

Alerts that fire when the protection state of a machine changes are called status change alerts. They notify you of events where protection becomes enabled, disabled, or otherwise altered, such as components going offline or license status shifting. This makes them the best fit for describing alerts triggered by changes in computer protection status.

In contrast, installation errors point to problems during deployment, signature file updates refer to routine updates of antivirus definitions, and no license indicates a static license issue rather than a dynamic change in protection. Status change alerts specifically capture the dynamic shifts in protection status that administrators need to monitor.
