  • Critical. This category includes the following components:
    • File Threat Protection

    • Mail Threat Protection
    • Host Intrusion Prevention
    • Password protection
• Medium protection level. The indicator takes this value and turns yellow if one of the important components is disabled.
• Low protection level. The indicator takes this value and turns red in one of the following cases:
  • One or multiple critical components are disabled.
  • Two ore more important components are disabled.

If the indicator has the Medium protection level or Low protection level value, a link that opens the Recommended protection components window appears to the right of the indicator. In this window, you can enable any of the recommended protection components.

After upgrading the application, the protection level indicator may indicate a lower protection level than before the upgrade. This happens because the newer version of the application introduces new components or features that are important for the security of the computer. After upgrading the application, you need to manage the new settings to make sure the protection level remains high.
