The Identity Protection monitors over 285 different behaviors plus all processes (hidden or not) in an effort to determine if something malicious is occurring within the users system.
When an unknown piece of code comes onto a protected computer, it is immediately watched for malicious behavior and tracked. If the file is determined to be malicious, the Identity Protection will remove the code 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; this technology is considered to be very proactive in that it rarely needs updating and is always on guard. Most of what it catches are very malicious pieces of code that are so new, that there is not a virus/spyware definition file created and therefore traditional security measures would not catch the infection.
With the combination of our traditional AVG security measures and the inclusion of Identity Protection technology we now can say that AVG products will detect significantly more malware than the competition and more importantly better protect you.
Increase the protection of your system and personal data using a proven solution - AVG Identity Protection!
