Which scans compressed files for malware upon extraction?

• A. Compressed File Scanning
• B. Detect Automatically
• C. Public Network
• D. Program Rules

Answer: (A)

Scanning inside archives as they’re extracted is essential because malware can hide in compressed files and only trigger after unpacking. This is exactly what the Compressed File Scanning feature does: it inspects the contents of archives like ZIPs and RARs at extraction time and blocks anything that looks malicious before it can execute. By testing the archive’s individual files during unpacking, it prevents threats that would bypass standard scanning if the archive weren’t opened. The other options don’t describe this behavior: Detect Automatically is a generic notion of threat detection, not the specific action of scanning archives during extraction. Public Network is about network location and access, not file scanning. Program Rules deals with policies or rules, not the actual scanning of compressed files.
