Protection settings allow you to specify which threats to address. For example,
- Set criteria for unwanted subscribers;
- Edit the entire list of unwanted comments.
- Determine what the service counts as spam to remove marks from them.
- Set the criteria for spam messages in direct to auto delete.

When protection is enabled, Spamguard will capture statistics on filtered threats from your Instagram account and reflect them 24/7.
On the main screen, you can access the Protection Report, which is generated in real time.
In the "Detailed report", you'll find a detailed description of the threat and an explanation as to why the service deemed it a threat.
