I think Smart Scan does shift some functions to a server, but I can't recall if that's the main difference from conventional scanning.

I remember something about Smart Scan using cloud features, but I'm not sure if it's about comparing files or just storing data.

The question is asking how Smart Scan varies from conventional scanning, so I need to focus on the differences. Option B about shifting functionality to an external server seems relevant. I'll have to weigh that against the other choices.

Okay, I think I've got this. The key difference is that Smart Scan sends file features to a cloud server for analysis, rather than just doing a local pattern match. That should improve detection rates. I'll select option A.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the differences here. I know Smart Scan uses some kind of cloud-based analysis, but I'm not clear on how that compares to traditional scanning. I'll have to think this through.

Real-time scanning is definitely a plus, but I'm not sure I'd trust a system that bases its decisions on file content rather than extension. Seems like it could be prone to false positives.
