Identity Protection gives your computer a realtime protection against new and even unknown
threats. It monitors all (including hidden) processes and over 285 different behaviour patterns, and
can determine if something malicious is happening within your system. For this reason, it can reveal
threats not even yet described in the virus database. Whenever an unknown piece of code comes
onto your computer, it is immediately watched for malicious behaviour, and tracked. If the file is
found to be malicious, Identity Protection will remove the code into the Virus Vault and undo any
changes that have been made to the system (code injections, registry changes, ports opening etc).
You do not need to initiate a scan to be protected. The technology is very proactive, rarely needs
updating, and is always on guard.
Identity Protection is a complimentary protection to Anti-Virus. We strongly recommend you
have the both components installed, in order to have complete protection for your PC!

Behaviors monitored - number of specific actions running within the monitored
