Component Identity Protection The Identity Protection component 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.
