Prevent Identity Theft

Having your identity stolen leaves you feeling vulnerable and violated. An imposter knowing everything about you, including home address, social security number, date of birth, and driver.s license number. In many cases the intruder also has a list of passwords to sites such as online banking.

There is a shifting trend in viruses toward not only crippling your computer, but sending your passwords and any personal information the virus can wrangle from your computer out to some unknown imposter in cyberspace. In many cases all you need to do to become infected is visit an infected website. A common mistake is thinking that only people that visit pornographic sites are at risk . this just isn.t the case. Many legitimate sites get hacked and malicious content awaits to infect any visitors.

In many cases these infections target common antivirus software and aim to disable, turn off, or otherwise make them useless in defending you. The fundamental problem lies in the fact that the antivirus software is only capable of scanning files after they are downloaded to the computer. What is needed is a way to pre-scan the web pages before they ever reach your computer. By prescanning all files on the web page, one can ensure that it is clean before proceeding to download it to the computer, risking infection and potentially identity theft.
