Which tool do you use to quickly scan a suspicious file on your endpoint?

  1. The file info tab in the self-help tool

  2. Endpoint Protection Dashboard

  3. Live Protection tool

  4. System Health Check

The correct answer is: The file info tab in the self-help tool

The most effective tool for quickly scanning a suspicious file on your endpoint is the Live Protection tool. This tool is designed to provide real-time scanning and analysis of files as they are accessed or executed on the system. It utilizes advanced threat intelligence and heuristic analysis to identify potential threats immediately, enabling rapid response to suspicious files. The file info tab in the self-help tool, while useful for obtaining information about files, does not actively scan the files for malicious content in the same way the Live Protection tool does. The Endpoint Protection Dashboard provides an overview of endpoint security but may not offer the immediacy of scanning individual files. Similarly, the System Health Check is focused on assessing the overall health of the endpoint rather than evaluating specific files for threats.
