Script Scanning should be enabled
Why This Matters
Script scanning acts as a critical defense against malware that attempts to execute malicious scripts on endpoints. Without this protection enabled, attackers can leverage scripting engines to run payloads undetected, bypassing traditional signature based antivirus checks. Enabling script scanning ensures that PowerShell, VBScript, and other script types are inspected in real time for suspicious behavior.
