Answer:
To configure a computer to detect and filter phishing websites, analyze websites for suspicious items, and check downloads against a list of known malicious files and sites, the technician should demonstrate the use of a web security feature called SmartScreen.
SmartScreen is a built-in security feature in both Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge that helps protect users from phishing attacks and other online threats. It checks websites and downloads against a list of known malicious sites and files, and blocks access to them if they are detected. It also analyzes websites for suspicious items and displays a warning if it detects anything potentially harmful.
To enable SmartScreen in Internet Explorer, the technician can go to the "Tools" menu and select "Internet Options." In the Internet Options window, click on the "Security" tab, and then click on the "Custom level" button. Scroll down to the "Security features" section and make sure that the "Turn on SmartScreen Filter" option is enabled.
To enable SmartScreen in Microsoft Edge, the technician can go to the "Settings" menu and select "Privacy, search, and services." In the Privacy, search, and services window, click on the "Security" tab, and then make sure that the "Block potentially harmful downloads" option is enabled.
By demonstrating the use of SmartScreen, the technician can help the customer configure their computer to better protect against online threats.
