The Widget
- The CIS widget is a handy control that provides at-a-glance information about your security status, speed of outgoing and incoming traffic and the number of active processes.
- The
Widget starts automatically with CIS unless it is disabled from the System
Tray Icon or in the 'User
Interface' of General
Settings.

color coded row at the top of the widget displays your current
security status.
