Security: A Computer Virus cannot be contracted by which of the below.
1. Floppy diskette
2. E-mail
3. Scanner
4. Internet Downloads
The answer was a scanner, it's unlkely but I'd have to question how accurate this is.

Although a hardware scanner inputs data into the computer from a hard copy, it's impossible for a virus to infect the computer because the text is either made into an image or as plain-text.
You only need to find the weakness in the system. For example a few years back there was exploit that used the exif/iptc information in images. This wouldn't specifically apply here but as another example there was an exploit in PHP for uploads, someone could upload imagename.php.jpg. If you didn't validate and only relied on the extension for validation once uploaded that file would be executed as a PHP script.
Add to that scanners are much more complex these days, hard drives, formats that are exploitable etc.

I kinda rushed through it, but I don't think I'd get that much better.

I need to retake the test. I keep clicking the wrong answer because this mouse is a POS. I move up and it decides to stop moving about half way through. So far though, I had nineteen right and five wrong.

Seeing as I've never really done much with Linux, I'm surprised I got any right in that category. As far as the history, I could care less.
I'm pretty sure I clicked some right answers only to have it record the wrong one too. Oh well.

I did the worst on Linux, programming, and history which doesn't surprise me. Some of the history still was trivial stuff from long before my time.
