Responding to Security Status indicators
The Security Status Indicator summarizes your current
protection levels for different activities such as
emailing and Web browsing. It estimates a general level
of protection based on the security programs that are
installed on your computer. The Security Status
Indicator appears on the left side of the main window.
When your system encounters a threat or a risk, the
product displays the security status in the main
window. When a status indicator displays a status, you
can take appropriate action to improve your protection
status. Your protection is based on the programs that
are installed on your computer. To improve your
protection status, ensure that your installed programs
are up to date.
