A user has finished running the initial operating system setup wizard. Which of the following would be BEST for the user to do next?

Verifying Internet connectivity is usually part of or assumed during initial setup for updates, but installing security software is a more critical next step for protection.

Installing productivity software like office suites is important for user work, but security takes precedence.

Installing security software, such as antivirus and anti-malware, is crucial immediately after OS setup to protect the system from various threats. As soon as the computer is operational and potentially connected to the internet, it becomes vulnerable to attacks, making security software a top priority.

Adding other user accounts can be done later; securing the system itself is more urgent.
