You want to send pictures from your digital camera to a computer that has Windows Vista Ultimate Edition installed. You are unable to receive pictures from your digital camera on your computer. The digital camera has infrared capabilities, and your computer has infrared port. What may be the possible reason?

1. You cannot use an infrared connection to send pictures.
2. Infrared is disabled in your computer.
3. You have set up one-way sync for digital camera.
4. You have set up two-way sync for digital camera.

Answer:

B. Infrared is disabled in your computer.

Tutorial:

You may be unable to receive pictures from the digital camera to your computer if infrared is disabled in your computer. You can check the status of the infrared device and also enable or disable the infrared device from the device manager.

To enable the infrared device, you should double-click Infrared devices, select the infrared device you want to enable, right-click the device and then click Enable. You can also disable the infrared device by repeating these steps and selecting Disable.

Additionally, you can enable or disable Bluetooth devices in device manager by repeating these steps on Bluetooth devices.

The steps to install and synch a device, either infrared or Bluetooth, are:

1. Enable the device in Device Manager (until you do this, it will not appear in Synch Center as available).
2. In Synch Center, select the device from the list of available devices for synch partnerships.
3. Choose either Bluetooth or infrared and choose Set Up.

The option stating that you cannot use an infrared connection to send pictures is incorrect. You can use an infrared connection to send picture from one device to another. For example, you can send pictures from your computer to a handheld device, or if your digital camera has infrared capabilities, you can send pictures from the camera to your computer.

Setting up a one-way sync with the digital camera is not causing the problem with your computer's infrared capability. When you set up one-way sync for your digital camera, you can copy your files from the digital camera to your computer, but you cannot copy the files from your computer to the digital camera.

Setting up a two-way sync with the digital camera is not causing the problem with your computer's infrared capability. In a two-way sync, Sync Center copies files in both directions, keeping the two locations in sync with each other. When you set up two-way sync for your digital camera, you can copy your files from the digital camera to your computer, and vice-versa.

Multiple answer, multiple-choice

You want to add a program that is detected by Windows Defender as malicious to the list of allowed items. What are the two possible ways to add the program to the list of allowed items in Windows Defender? (Each correct answer presents a complete solution. Choose two.)

1. Select the Always Allow option in the Action column on the Scan Results page in Windows Defender.
2. Click the Add button under the Advanced options heading on the Options page in Windows Defender.
3. Click the Allowed items link on the Tools and Settings page in Windows Defender.
4. Select the Ignore option in the Action column on the Scan Results page in Windows Defender.

Answer:

A. Select the Always Allow option in the Action column on the Scan Results page in Windows Defender.

B. Click the Add button under the Advanced options heading on the Options page in Windows Defender.

Tutorial:

You should select the Always Allow option in the Action column on the Scan Results page, or click the Add button under the Advanced options heading on the Options page in Windows Defender.

When you run a spyware scan in Windows Defender, the spyware detected by Windows Defender is displayed on the Scan Results page. The Scan Results page contains information such as threat description and suggests appropriate actions for detected spyware. You can also modify the action for each of the detected programs before applying them.

To apply the selected actions, click the Apply Actions button on the Scan Results page. When you want to prevent Windows Defender from notifying you about a program that you want to use, you can add that program to the list of allowed items in Windows Defender. To add a program to the Allowed items list, select the Always Allow option on the Scan Results page. The Always Allow option automatically adds the program to the Allowed items list in Windows Defender.

When a program is added to the list of allowed items, Windows Defender will stop detecting the program in future scans. Alternatively, you can add the program file manually to the Do not scan these files or locations list. This causes Windows Defender to stop notifying you about the programs that are listed under the Do not scan these files or locations list.

You should not click the Allowed items link on the Tools and Settings page in Windows Defender. The Allowed items page displays only the list of programs that should not be monitored or scanned by Windows Defender during a scan. The Allowed items page allows you to only remove any program from the list of allowed items.

To remove a program from the Allowed items list, select the program and click the Remove From List button on the Allowed items page. You cannot add any new program to the list from the Allowed items page.

You should not select the Ignore option in the Action column on the Scan Results page in Windows Defender. Selecting the Ignore option causes Windows Defender to ignore the threat during this scan only. The threat will be detected again by Windows Defender during the next spyware scan. The Ignore option does not add the detected program to the list of allowed items.
