Which action starts a local, immediate scan of the host?

• A. AD Sample Test File
• B. Scan Now
• C. URL Checker
• D. PSInfo Tool

Answer: (B)

Starting a local, immediate scan is triggered by the Scan Now action. This on-demand command tells the endpoint agent to run a malware scan right away on the host, using its local scanning engine to inspect files, processes, and other system activity without waiting for a scheduled task or cloud job.

The other tools serve different purposes: AD Sample Test File is typically a test artifact used to verify detection or integration; URL Checker focuses on evaluating the safety of websites rather than scanning the local machine; PSInfo Tool collects system information for troubleshooting rather than performing a scan.
