Status Tab The Status tab is graphically divided into several sections: AVG IDP switch on/off and license info The upper part of the dialog window informs you whether your AVG Identity Protection is currently running or switched off.

Of course, the option of switching the application off temporarily is available: Should you want to switch AVG Identity Protection off, press the Stop button To start the AVG Identity Protection activity again, press the Start button ( this new button appears once the application is switched off) However, we strongly recommend not to switch off the AVG Identity Protection application unless you have a true reason to do so!Otherwise you expose your computer to the malware attacks risk, and your AVG IDP is not able to protect you neither to warn you in any way! In the same section of the dialog window you can also find information on the currently used license and its expiration date. There are two control buttons available: Get License Now - if you have first installed the trial version of AVG Identity Protection (valid for 15 days only) and you have decided to purchase the full version now, press the Get License Now button.

Settings Tab The Settings tab is further divided into three sections that can be displayed by clicking the respective button in the header of the dialog: Options Quarantined Allowed 5. 2. 1. Options The Options tab is also graphically divided into several sections: Basic configuration In the left part of the dialog you can see a list of options that can be switched on/off to define AVG Identity Protection behavior rules in case a suspicious activity is 16 detected: Automatically quarantine detected threats - (off by default) - mark this item if you wish all applications detected as possible malware to be automatically and immediately moved to quarantine. Keeping the default settings, when a threat is detected, you will be asked whether it should be moved to quarantine to make sure no applications you want to run are removed. Prompt to save your work before removal - (off by default) - mark this item if you wish to be warn before the application detected as possible malware gets removed to quarantine. In case you just work with the application, your project might be lost and you need to save it first. By default, this item is off since threats do not get removed automatically but should you allow this option of automatic removal (the previous item in the list), we strongly recommend to switch the "save your work prompt" as well! Show progress of malware removal - (on by default) - with this item on, once a potential malware is detected, a new dialog opens to display progress of the malware being removed to quarantine Show final malware removal details - (on by default) - with this item on, AVG Identity Protection displays detailed information on each object moved to quarantine (severity level, location, etc. ) Automatically submit to AVG Labs - (on by default) - please keep this check-box marked to feed the database collecting information on malicious activity on the web and to help us identify new threats.
