The Status Bar displays your PC's security status and helps you monitor all critical and non-critical security events, updates and promotional offers. There are three status types that you may see in the adaware antivirus status bar:
Protection: Active indicates the following:
- The Real-Time Protection and Email Protection features are enabled.
- The Definitions are up to date and the automatic threat definition updates are enabled.
Computer at risk indicates the following:
- Threat Definitions are out of date.
- Automatic threat definitions update is disabled.
- Email Protection feature is disabled.
- System scan date is too old or has never been performed.
- The program update is available.
Protection: Inactive indicates the following:
- Real-Time Protection feature is disabled.
- Threat definitions have not been downloaded.
- adaware antivirus has expired.
The status bar, located at the bottom of the adaware antivirus window, presents information about all problems/issues found:
Important notifications are marked with red color. These messages alert you to critical issues, like if the Real-Time Protection feature is disabled, or if no definition files are detected, meaning that your computer is at risk. Such notifications need your immediate attention, as they convey something of utmost importance.
The yellow notification status indicates that your adaware antivirus program requires your attention. For example, the yellow notification appears if the Email Protection feature is turned off or if the system scan is too old or has never been performed.
The green notification informs you about new software updates.

Left/right arrows will be displayed only if there is more than one message.
