Explanation

Two clues drive the correct answers: (1) Ann mentioned a pop-up notification about newly installed software, so E-asking Ann about the notification and reviewing installed programs-is essential to identify whether a rogue program (e.g., browser hijacker or proxy tool) is interfering. (2) The problem is specific to Ann's laptop, and it only affects the vendor's site, so C-checking cached browser files and attempting another vendor's website-helps isolate whether the issue is browser-cache corruption or site-specific. Together, these two steps address both the software clue and the browser-environment angle without destructive actions like reinstalling the browser (F) or using Ann's credentials (A), which raises a security concern.
