The Main Interface

The CIS interface is designed to be as clean and informative as possible while letting you carry out tasks with the minimum of fuss. Each tile on the home screen contains important security and update information and lets you quickly delve further into areas of interest.

The look of the user interface depends on the theme selected. There are four different themes you can choose from. See Customize User Interface if you need help to change theme.

• Click 'Home/Tasks' button at upper left to switch between the home screen and the tasks interface

• Flip between 'Basic View' and 'Advanced View' by using the 'Basic View/Advanced View' button at the upper right of the home screen.

• Instantly run a virus scan on a file or folder by dragging it into the scan box (advanced view)

• Switch on 'Silent Mode' to make sure nothing interrupts you while you are on an important task.

• The tiles on the home screen provide one-click access to the antivirus scanner, updates, Secure Shopping, and more.

• The 'Upgrade' button lets you upgrade to CIS Pro or Complete.

Advanced View
