There are all sorts of unscrupulous individuals on the Internet, who would like nothing more than to get a hold of your personal data and use it for their own gains. This is why you should always be mindful about the websites you visit and the information you input. Identity Theft Preventer can remove the traces you leave behind when surfing the web and keep your important files and information safe. Viruses and hackers target this kind of information, left in a web browser or files left unprotected, in an effort to steal your identity. A few clicks are sufficient to have this lightweight utility get rid of the information that could reach a stranger on the Internet who could start buying things with your money.

Identity Theft Preventer is free to try, with some functionality restrictions. You can download its setup package in just a few seconds and install its core components just as fast. There is no need to install any prerequisite tools, and you don't need powerful hardware to run the application.

The software comes with several tools, all neatly organized on separate tabs. The Status screen is where you can get an overview of what information you can delete and what features can be enabled or disabled, to protect your identity. The program has a built-in cleanup tool, which scans your system for browsing traces, saved login credentials, and other bits of personal information, which you can remove with a single click.

Besides clearing your browsing traces, you can also enable a series of special features, through simple on/off switches. The software's webcam blocker can prevent applications from using your webcam, which eliminates the constant fear that someone could be watching. The same can be done with the microphone as well, and you can also block various tracking systems, so you don't have to erase the same amounts of data in the future.

Identity Theft Preventer lets you create a personal vault, in which you can store and protect sensitive information, like passwords or account numbers. Everything can be organized in custom categories, and you can copy the important bits to the clipboard without revealing them. This is an excellent alternative to writing down your passwords, if you can't remember them, because no one will stumble upon them and use them to access your accounts.

It doesn't take anything more than a few clicks to ensure your identity won't be stolen, thanks to Identity Theft Preventer's fast and efficient functionality.


Pros

You can erase browsing traces and other items that could compromise your identity. The software acts as a password manager as well. You can install it in just a few seconds and you don't need powerful hardware to run it.

Cons

The trial version's limitations prevent an adequate evaluation.
