Which feature decompresses and scans the contents of compressed files?

• A. Exclude Files
• B. File Extensions
• C. Scan Compressed Files
• D. Task Publishing

Answer: (C)

Inspecting contents inside compressed archives to catch threats hidden inside is essential. The feature that decompresses and scans the contents of compressed files does exactly that: it expands archives (like ZIP, RAR, or other formats) as they are encountered and runs the security scan on every file contained inside, including files nested within other archives. This is crucial because malware often hides in compressed packages to slip past basic checks, so unpacking and inspecting each item ensures hidden threats are detected.

Excluding files would skip some content from scanning, and filtering by file extensions would limit what is scanned rather than reveal contents inside archives. Task publishing is about scheduling or distributing tasks, not scanning compressed materials.
