Question Solved: AVG Identity Protection
Does this program really work like it says it does and is it worth $19.99?

Their web site doesn't really say what its designed to detect? Phishing sites, screenscrapers, keyloggers ??? ID theft can be done in many ways, including digging through your trash. It just says it uses behaviorial analysis. Either it is poor marketing for choosing such a vague description or a super secret new technology

Thanks
Thanks! I'm not very knowledgable concerning security, etc. Do you know any good identity theft protection programs? My security now is the free version 8.5 AVG and Malwarebytes' Anti-malware and I also have CCleaner that I run about once a week. Are these o.k. and am I using CCleaner correctly?

On today's day I would never purchase a product sold by grisoft/avg. Primarily because of ineffectiveness and the detection of false positives are on the higher side.
