What's Next?

Once Identity Guard Device Secure has successfully installed, you will want to run a Full Scan of your computer. The time it takes to complete a full scan of your computer will vary depending on how many files you have. However, you can let Identity Guard Device Secure scan in the background while you go about your business. It won't slow you down!

Identity Guard Device Secure currently schedules scans to run every day at 3am. To allow Identity Guard Device Secure to protect your computer to its full extent, we recommend leaving your computer on overnight so that these scans are able to run. If you decide not to leave your computer on, that's fine as well! You can run an on-demand scan of your computer whenever you'd like.
