Thanks Its Solved My Problem Good work (https://totaltechhub.com/)
I was also facing the same problem as I was also not sure if the Idp.generic warning was just a false positive or a serious threat.
So I decided to learn about it and found the solution here: idp.generic (https://techinfogeek.com/idp-generic/)
I hope this will solve your problem as well because it did solve my issues clearly.
Do Websites also experience idp.generic issues? I am planning to active AVG protection for my site which is https://pickbassinet.com/ let me know, what should I do now?
In general, you shouldn't ignore any warnings from your antivirus programs. Now speaking of idp. generic, ([website removed]) although most of its cases are false positives, you still shouldn't ignore it completely. What we recommend is to either use another antivirus program to see if that catches the same file or use VirusTotal.

There are many doubts in the minds of the people regarding this. Here's something I found from one of the article on the internet.
"IDP Generic virus is the detection that is detected by an Identity Protection detection component of the antivirus and it is a generalized file that gets detected. The files in one’s system will be flagged by this whenever the file does something identical to malware that triggers the flag."
Actionable steps to remove it are also given. Source - https://livefortech.net/what-is-idp-generic-virus-and-how-to-remove-it/
idp.generic issues also occur on websites ? lets say i want AVG protection for my welding site which is https://welderstream.com/ what you guys will suggest on this ?

Hello BBQ,
Thank you for sharing your suggestion through the community forum.
We're sorry to know that you feel like using a different antivirus program for a solution. Nevertheless, the appropriate way to deal with these kind of threat pop-ups is to submit the website to the below AVG False-positive website.
