I apologize for the inconvenience. I would request you to update the AVG program and then scan your computer. If you still face the same issue, please provide the screenshot http://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?urlname=How-to-create-a-screenshot of the threat detection message to check and proceed further.
I have AVG free Version 17.5.3022 updated 21st Aug. installed.
Pleased to report that end results were:-
1 Message your Browser is secure, no threats found
2 No threats
So assume all is OK?
But what was/is IDP Generic?
hi
my AVG is updated and im getting IDP.Generic alert on file
Kingsoft\WPS Office\11.2.0.8668\office6\wpsupdate.exe
We would like to get more information regarding the threat detection.
Could you create your own post on this community, so that we can collect the necessary information?
Are you using the free or paid version of AVG Antivirus?
"IDP Generic virus is the detection that is detected by an Identity Protection detection component of the antivirus and it is a generalized file that gets detected. The files in one’s system will be flagged by this whenever the file does something identical to malware that triggers the flag."
Actionable steps to remove it are also given. Source - https://livefortech.net/what-is-idp-generic-virus-and-how-to-remove-it/
So I decided to learn about it and found the solution here: idp.generic (https://techinfogeek.com/idp-generic/)
I hope this will solve your problem as well because it did solve my issues clearly.
IDP generic means that the detection was detected by a Identity Protection detection component and it is a generalized file that got detected.
We're glad to help you.
