Identity Finder Home Edition Editor's Review

Using security software for protecting your computer and data is not simple anymore. A few years back, you could buy a commercial security solution and relax for the next 1 year! That is no longer the case. With malicious lot becoming more tech-savvy and powerful, you need to use specialized third party applications to ensure complete protection for your data. Apart from the media content and documents in your PC, you need to ensure safety for credit card data and sensitive personal information stored in your PC and various online accounts as it is. If protecting your identity and crucial data is very important, try out Identity Finder Home edition.
Even if your laptop gets stolen, the thief will not get access to your sensitive data, provided you use this application. Identity Finder Home edition runs on PCs with Windows XP and later versions.

After installation is done, Identity Finder asks users to define a password for the application profile. It is necessary that you choose a password that is hard to naturally.

The application can scan faster by taking advantage of multi core processors. It supports web browsers like IE and Firefox. Its integration with Windows shell also makes file searching and shredding easier.

It comes with a capable search wizard which is lunched post install. It has AnyFind searching, which means the application will search the PC for specific types of data by means of pattern matching. It looks for driver's licenses,bank account numbers,credit card numbers, addresses and phone numbers. People can also use country-specificcodes to its default search mechanism. AnyFind relies on data typealgorithms for flagging search results.

Identity Finder lets you enter specific personal information through feature called OnlyFind. By default the application looks in My Documents and browser data but you can set it to scan entire hard disk. After the first scan throws up results, you can review it or save it for viewing later. If the application finds data that should not be left exposed, you can choose to shred it.

If Identity Finder locates a password in IE and Firefox, it prompts you to remove that to its secured password vault. If you do not like to delete a file, the application uses encryption to ensure safety. For file formats that lack native encryption, it creates one encrypted copy and shreds the first file. 

For users overtly conscious about their data, Identity Finder’s advanced interface comes in handy. It has a ribbon-style and tab based UI. You can set the locations using this interface. It basically offers you more choices than the wizard. You can choose to include emails and removable drives in search. The Configuration tab lets you set a schedule for the application to run. It is the place where you can access help files too.

The System Cleanup tab can be used to clean up browser data. The application’s Browser Security tab lets you enhance security of your personal data. For instance, you can deactivate IE’s AutoComplete feature. You may also set a master password for Firefox data.

Positive Points:
- Extensive search for personal data.
- Wizard based starch and advanced mode
- File encryption and shredding
- Browser data cleanup and protection.

Negative Points:
- Nothing in particular.

Conclusion:
Identity Finder ensures your valuable data remains inaccessible to others at all times. It is easy to use and configure. The extensive options for encryption and file shredding are nice add-ons. The Advanced mode is targeted at tech savvy and security conscious users. If you need good protection for your data, it is certainly a worthy tool to try.

Rating: 5/5







Identity Finder Home Edition Publisher's Description

Identity Finder helps you prevent identity theft by finding personally identifiable information on your computer and prompting you to either securely delete or encrypt the data it uncovers. One of the most common ways of leaving personal information exposed is not realizing it even exists. Identity Finder is a simple, effective, and inexpensive tool that addresses this critical need unmet by leading antivirus and anti-spyware software. By using proprietary search algorithms to uncover multiple variations of specific types of private information such as social security numbers, credit cards, bank accounts, and online passwords, Identity Finder discovers your identity matches automatically and without requiring you to enter any information. You may also enter unique personal information that Identity Finder will convert into a variety of formats to increase the likelihood of finding the information. Regardless of format, you can find dates of birth, drivers' licenses, personal addresses, passport numbers, mother's maiden names, and more. Identity Finder searches for this information throughout your computer including your web browsers' hidden storage areas such as auto complete fields; web pages and cookies; instant messenger logs; home and office files; compressed files; e-mails and attachments; the Windows registry; and more. A series of simple wizards and an advanced user interface guide you through the process of configuring and starting a search and dealing with the results. When personal information is uncovered you are presented with several choices such as encryption, which allows you to assign a password to access it in the future, or a secure delete capability which permanently removes it from your computer.
