There are three possible values of protection status: each of them is indicated with a certain color, similar to
traffic lights. Green indicates that your computer‟s protection is at the correct level, while yellow and red colors
indicate that there exist various security threats. In addition to malicious programs, threats include obsolete
application databases, disabled protection components, the selection of minimum protection settings etc.
Security threats must be eliminated as they appear. For detailed information about threats and how to eliminate
them quickly, switch to Security Management Wizard: click the status icon or the panel on which it is located
(see fig. above).
The left part of the window provides quick access to any function of the application, including virus scan tasks,
updates, etc.
