WELCOME

In this modern world, things are getting more and more innovative and user friendly. While we all try our best to do our job with full attention and clear mind, somehow, we miss or leave a clue to our identity somewhere as we move on. Some intruders get access to the places where valuable information is available using latest techniques and make people lose their valuable assets and create problems for them. Internet browsing records your activities without your knowledge. This unauthorized intrusion can also scan files and folders along with mails – some of them may be highly secretive. That may affect your personal identity and financial security. It is apparent that our digital identities play an increasingly significant role in our lives, so we need to protect them as much as we can. The measures of security and privacy are becoming a more integral part of every online service.

ADVANCED IDENTITY PROTECTORlets you enter your valuable information which will be saved in encrypted format in the Secure Vault. You can save your Social Security Number, Bank Account Number, Password, Credit/Debit Card Number or any other information. When scanning will be done this information will be searched on your Mac in the areas selected by you. If information is found then it will be displayed to you and you can either delete it permanently, or move it to Secure Vault, or can exclude it from future scans.
