The memory usage by AVG IDP is quite huge – 39MB is in use by its 4 processes: AVGIDSAgent.exe, AVGIDSMonitor.exe, AVGIDSUI.exe and AVGIDSWatcher.exe.
I test the real-time protection by AVG IDP by executing bot2.exe 
, Zbot a known malware that can steal personal data by intercepting HTTP requests from some online banking websites and/or any confidential banking data the victim types in is compromised. AVG is quick to detect the said executable as dangerous and offered to quarantine/remove. The system requires a restart to proceed in removing the detected threat. After restarting the system, AVG IDP reported that some malicious files were not removed. I scan the system using MBAM, A-squared, Windows Defender, Spybot-S&D, SUPERAntiSpyware and Ad-Aware to verify that AVG has indeed protect the system from being infected but to my disappointment, AVG IDP failed to prevent infection and also has failed to remove the files added by the malware. MBAM, SS&D and SAS have found infections on the system caused by bot2.exe that AVG IDP spotted as malware.
Using the same malware sample, I test again the real-time protection of AVG IDP by changing the settings to automatically handle threats instead of prompting me what to do. Again, AVG IDP is fast in spotting the executed malware sample and offered to reboot the computer to proceed in removing the malware. However, the malware is able to infect the system again and AVG IDP failed to prevent or remove infections.
