These self propagating viruses steal your keystrokes and the information contained as you navigate the internet.

Product Benefits and Features

Not all identity theft is computer related; as such our program provides our members with a complete restoration solution.

The following services are provided to all members:

THIS IS A $150 VALUE - AVAILABLE TO MEMBERS AT NO COST!

Identity Monitoring*
Identity monitoring monitors the activity associated with an identity across multiple data sources, including:

• Credit Bureau Data
• DMVs
• Bankruptcy Lien and Judgment filings
• Utilities
• Public Records
• Private Contributory Databases

By continuously monitoring information related to a specific identity, the owner of that identity can be immediately notified if it has been compromised. As identity fraud usually precedes other types of fraud (such as credit card fraud), this type of proactive alert system is critical to mitigating the extensive - and expensive - damage perpetrated after an identity is stolen and manipulated. Given the considerable lag between when an identity is compromised and when that even is discovered, this service is a critical component of defense against identity fraud.

* Identity Monitoring coverage is limited only to the member.
