The CompTIA A+ malware removal process follows a specific order of operations to ensure thorough remediation and prevent reinfection. After successfully removing the malware, enabling system restore, and creating a new restore point, the final step is to educate the end user. This involves explaining how the infection likely occurred and providing guidance on safe computing practices, such as avoiding suspicious links, attachments, and downloads. This preventative measure is crucial to reduce the likelihood of future incidents.

A. Performing a secondary scan is part of the remediation phase, which occurs before the final steps of the process.

C. Reimaging is a remediation method itself, not a step that follows the completion of malware removal.

D. Reviewing system logs is typically done during the initial identification and research phase to diagnose the problem.
