Question 1.

For the proper verification the antivirus program needs to be checked properly.In the application we have to verify whether it is upto date or not and also to check whether it is having any update or patch available for the version.Also the log of the last full system scan has to be checked and also all the security options has to be enabled for full secureity purpose.

Question 2

Everytime when a user is logged in the detailed activity is always stored in a log.It should be checked properly which shows the activity of the user,the login failure which was successsfull and so on.The number of force attempt or change password would show the unwated login and hence security level can be elevated on basis of that.

Question 3

On screening the logs there may be low security presense in the anivirus,unwated application,junks files and so.
