Re: avg just brought up a identerfraud warning for innerspace

Did you have a question to go along with your screenshot? AVG "Identity Protection"?

It uses a technology called behavioral analysis to make sure all the programs running on your computer are operating the way they should. If it spots something suspicious that could indicate an attempted ID theft attack, it shuts that activity down

It's looking for programs that do things it didn't expect. Inner Space is much different than most software, and often behaves in ways that heuristics like AVG Identity Protection might not expect.

You can upload suspicious files to a site like http://www.virustotal.com or http://virusscan.jotti.org/en to further check them out.

The answer is to 1) click Allow, and 2) send the legit file to AVG so they can update their heuristics
