An employee contacts the help desk because multiple unwanted pop-ups are appearing on-screen while visiting a website. Which of the following will the technician most likely do to resolve this issue?

While configuring browser security settings can help reduce pop-ups by blocking certain types of content, it may not be sufficient to eliminate all unwanted advertisements. Security settings are often limited in their ability to effectively filter out all pop-ups, especially if the website has aggressive advertising tactics.

Adjusting the firewall configuration is generally unrelated to pop-up ads, as firewalls are designed to control network traffic and security rather than manage browser content. This option would not directly address the pop-up issue and could potentially expose the system to other network vulnerabilities.

Stopping processes in Task Manager may temporarily halt pop-ups, but this is not a practical or long-term solution. The unwanted advertisements would likely resume once the browser is reopened or the processes restart, making this approach ineffective for a sustained resolution.
