The Home page provides a dashboard view of the software's current status and activities.


From the Home page you can add a protection plan, edit a protection plan, remove a protection plan and view the status of a currently running protection plan or a completed protection plan. The Home page also provides navigation to other areas of the software interface via the buttons on the left panel.
