1. Introduction

This user manual offers a general overview of the tasks and detection technologies
provided by AVG Identity Protection. We will briefly talk about the program
installation, initial startup, and use.
AVG Identity Protection is focused on preventing identity thieves from stealing your
passwords, bank account details, credit card numbers and other personal digital
valuables from all kinds of malicious software (malware) that target your PC. It makes
sure that all programs running on your PC are operating correctly. AVG Identity
Protection spots and blocks suspicious behavior on a continuous basis and protects
your computer from all new malware.
AVG Identity Protection is an anti-malware application that protects you from all
kinds of malware (spyware, bots, identity theft, ...) using behavioral technologies and
provide zero day protection for new viruses. As malware gets sophisticated and comes
in a form of normal programs that can open up your PC to the remote attacker for
identity theft, AVG Identity Protection secures you from these new execution based
malware.
AVG Identity Protection is a complimentary protection to AVG Anti-Virus that
protects you from file based and known viruses using signature mechanism and
scanning.
We strongly recommend you have the both AVG Anti-Virus and AVG Identity
Protection applications installed, in order to have complete protection for your
PC.
