Hi, Here's some info on this, looks legit. Identity Protection The Identity Protection module helps to prevent identity theft and protects your personal information against threats from new and unknown badware.
Traditional security products rely on "signatures" to protect your information against viruses and spyware, and thats just fine for dealing with existing threats. AVG's identity theft protection goes a step further by adding an extra layer of defense that uses advanced behavioral technology to detect and block new and unknown threats. Software products containing this component AVG Identity Protection AVG Internet Security -----Original Message----- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of David Griffith Sent: Tuesday, April 21, 2009 2:57 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] AVG Identity Component Yesterday I was prompted by a box claiming to be AVG saying that I should install a new component designed to prevent identity theft. I did so but have a slight concern since that this was a genuine AVG update. The reason I have become suspicious is that my AVG Internet Security Firewall is alerting me that this component is attempting to connect to the internet. It seems slightly odd that AVG Firewall would not know about one of its own components. The second cause for concern is that after doing some online banking tonight my IE reported that it had encountered a problem with an adding and needed to close. On checking the details for this the adding causing the problem appeared to be again an AVG component. The concern is that I have inadvertently let something in claiming to be AVG which in fact is not. Is there anybody who can reassure me on this point?
