3.1. Security Status Button

If the security status button is green, there is nothing to worry about. Otherwise, if the button is yellow, red or gray, there is a medium or high security risk your computer is exposed to.

The color of the status buttons can change not only when you configure the settings that might affect your computer's security, but when you forget to do important tasks. For example, if your last system scan is old, the security status button will be yellow. If it is very old, it will be red.

The table below will provide you with information about what elements are taken into account when calculating the security risk.
