AVG Identity Protection™
Up-to-the-minute protection for online banking, shopping and gaming
The more time you spend on line, the more important it is to keep your personally-identifiable information safe from identity thieves. AVG Identity Protection sits on top of your existing anti-virus, shielding your passwords, credit card numbers, and other digital valuables from prying eyes.
AVG Identity Protection™ goes way beyond the typical identity theft protection software. Not only will we keep you safe from online threats — we're also able to see when anything potentially bad might be happening on your PC, and stop it before it can do any damage.
AVG Identity Protection™ enhances any anti-virus, not just AVG. Here's how:
Your identity is safe whenever you go online
New and unknown threats are kept out of your PC
Provides gamers with protection without interfering with their gaming
All this together with free local telephone support, plus free e-mail and online expert support 24/7.

Antivirus and antispyware is no longer enough protection
Every day, tens of thousands of new viruses appear in security company labs. Traditional security products that rely on "signatures" to detect and block viruses by identifying each one just can't keep up. You need something more to protect you when you go online. Yes, you still need that traditional protection against the viruses and spyware that are already out there. However, AVG Identity Protection goes a step further by adding an extra layer of defense against new and unknown threats.
AVG Identity Protection uses a technology called behavioural analysis to make sure all the programs running on your PC are operating the way they should. If it spots something suspicious that could indicate an attempted ID theft attack, it shuts that activity down, preventing any possible theft from happening. It doesn't matter whether you're running AVG software or security software from another vendor — AVG Identity Protection runs alongside all popular programs to keep you safer when you're online.
AVG Identity Protection automatically blocks any activity that could lead to identity theft. When AVG Identity Protection detects potential ID-stealing malware on your PC, an alert appears on your screen with two options:
- Quarantine — choose this option if you don't recognise the program; it will be isolated, along with any associated files and configuration changes
- Allow — choose this option if you know and trust the program; it will activate and run in the normal way
Gaming protection
Did you know there's a huge black market for WoW passwords?
It's true. There are teams of hackers around the world dedicating their lives to finding and stealing World of Warcraft passwords. Why? So they can grab the gold and sell it for real money in online auction sites. And it's not just WoW players who are at risk. Any RMT environment is fair game to the password thieves. And if you play free games that are supported by in-game ads, a whole other level of risk comes to light. Hackers have figured out how to randomly spike ads with zero-day threats. So even the most innocuous ads could be hiding a deadly payload.
Still tempted to turn off your protection while you play?
Yes, we know. Gameplay is faster. Lag is minimised. You don't get interrupted by your firewall asking you whether something should be allowed or not. But what's the point of amassing all that treasure if some hacker can steal the lot in a matter of seconds? And we're not just scaremongering. There is a better way.
AVG Identity Protection is a different kind of security software. It doesn't rely on those cumbersome signature files traditional anti-virus products rely on. Nor does it monitor (and keep asking questions about) port traffic. Instead, AVG Identity Protection can work alongside your existing security software to take care of all those occasions when an unknown threat risks spoiling your game — and potentially a lot more.
We believe you should be able to focus on your gameplay, not worry about security. AVG Identity Protection is different from traditional security software. Not only will we keep your gaming assets safe from online thieves — we're also able to see when anything potentially bad might be happening on your PC, and stop it before it can do any damage.
So don’t be a n00b — get AVG Identity Protection today and make sure you get to keep the rewards of your gaming labours!
No need to remember to schedule scans or updates
Because AVG Identity Protection works by spotting and blocking suspicious behaviour on a continuous basis, there's no need to worry about whether you've downloaded the latest signature updates or scheduled a scan today. As soon as you've installed it, Identity Protection is on guard, protecting your personal and private information against identity theft attacks.
Easy to install and manage
AVG Identity Protection is a small (10 MB) download, so you can install it in no time. And once it's in place, it uses a tiny amount of your computer processing power to provide continuous, real-time protection.
Community-based research
AVG Identity Protection uses information about threats uncovered by the software to improve its research and detection capabilities. By installing AVG Identity Protection, you have the option to join the community of users who provide valuable feedback. If you decide to participate, data from the Quarantine and Allow decisions you make is automatically provided to our researchers. This data is completely anonymous and cannot be associated with any individual user.
If you do not want to participate in the research effort, you can change this preference by going to the Settings page of the Control Centre and deselecting "Automatically submit to AVG".
AVG Identity Protection does not require other AVG products to be installed and running. However, when run with other AVG products, the combination delivers a highly effective layered security approach.
Note: If you are already running AVG Internet Security then you are already entitled to have AVG Identity Protection. You do not need to purchase it again. Please upgrade to AVG Internet Security 9.0, during which process AVG Identity Protection should be installed and start running. If you have already upgraded to AVG Internet Security 9.0 and AVG Identity Protection isn't running, then please use our Support options to resolve the issue.
