What systems have you used or have you not used it because of security or IDTheft.

First check out the company you want to buy from.  Make sure you can find out their address and phone number.  Look up their company name on the web and see if there are any reviews.  Ideally buy from a company you have heard of, that has a good reputation.\n\nBefore you enter any personal details make sure your PC is safe.  You need an up to date firewall and virus checker.\n\nRead the terms and conditions before you buy.  Check out the returns policy and delivery schedule.  Maybe email them a question about a product to see if you get an answer.\n\nNext look at the security on the site.  There should be a little padlock in the corner of the page when you're on a secure page.\n\nMake your purchase and print out a copy of your order and keep it in a safe place.  Check it against your credit card bill when you get it.\n\nGood luck!

The arguments put forward in favour of ID cards are largely a blind. There's little or no reason to believe that these would have a significant impact in fighting terrorism or dealing with illegal immigration and benefit fraud. I've been involved in this kind of area and there is no document that cannot be forged, given the will, money and technology. Terrorists and criminals running major fraud operations are the very people with the will and means to do this. And so they will. Sure ID cards might have an impact on, say, your more opportunist benefit fraud but to nothing like the extent necessary to justify such enormous expense. And don't for a moment believe that even the several billion pound cost presently projected won't rise to a still more astronomical number - this invariably happens with government IT contracts.\n\nSo ID cards will be hugely expensive and of marginal value in fighting serious organised crime. Exactly what does justify the cost ? It's all speculation really but best bet is probably a national database, storing large amounts of data for each of us. Does sound very 'big brother' I know but then we've now reached the point where chips in bins to check we're disposing of rubbish correctly are becoming a reality - bets are off, I'd say.\n\nThe interesting thing about a national database is what would be included ? Name, address, date of birth, place of birth, blood group, driver or not - maybe. But how about criminal record, relationship history, medical history, sexual orientation, employment, income ? How about more commercial information, useful to the private sector. If that sounds ridiculous just think about the ever growing amount of private sector involvement in the public services - cleaning hospitals badly, running prisons for profit. This might be alarmist and wrong but, think about it, what else justifies the cost ?

Personally I think that people talk bad about it because it is  not free, it takes too long for a full system scan and it takes up too much system resources (during the scan) and hackers hate the firewall.  This is what I have found to be true.  I would prefer it too take longer and be thorough because it is better to be safe than sorry!

Speaking of ID theft...this is a one time purchase..no recurring fees...It's theft to charge what these services charge.\n\nhttp://www.anti-identity-theft.com

Sounds like you have already been compromised. Try running scanner specifically targeting spyware while in safe mode.

Pick one that is FREE and open source!\n\nPick Anti-Vir\nor Advast!!!\n\nSpywear:  love Spybot or even Adwear\nOther: oh and don't forget registry cleaner!\n\n:)\n\nNorten is EVIL, and it eats up system resources, it's just a brand name now the normal users pick c0z it once HAD a good reputation but now it bites and doesn't even always do it's job. And then they have the nerv to charge each year for it!\n\nYes ZA is an all in one, so it kicks but, but it doesn't do it 100% (so I just use ZA as a kick @ss firewall, nothing more) BUT Zone Alarm is very VERY user freindly (great for Newbies!)

A little risky putting all of your personal info on here don't ya think? Stalkers, identity theft etc...

Hi,\n\nUnfortunately I can only see this getting worse for people using the current popular pc security products (Norton, McAfee, AVG, Lavasoft, etc).  There has recently been a severe outbreak of a new type of malware that is constantly evolving and leading security vendors are struggling to deal with.\n\nI've been using a relatively new product called Prevx1 for the last 9 months now and have not been infected by a single piece of malware since.  This is because they use a completely new method of protection compared to other security products that is continually proving to detect, protect and remove more malware than all leading security vendors.\n\nI would strongly recommend you give this program a try if you wish to stop being infected.  They are currently offering a 28 Day Free Trial of their product which you can read more infomation about and/or download here:\nhttp://www.prevx.com

I can get by nowadays without a wallet for half a day, but I'm in a small town and the checker at the store will key in my CC # (which I've memorized).\n\nSome oil companies offer RFID key chain fobs that work at their gas pumps, so that is already available in a few markets.\n\nThe police will want to see a physical driver's license for a long time, I suspect (but only if you get stopped).  Note that for a long time in Britian, people didn't carry their licenses.  If stopped, they'd give their names, and then be required to come by the station later to show their (lifetime) license.\n\nUSA borders seem to be going in the direction of MORE documentation PLUS biometrics rather than less.  Passports required for air travel from Mex and Can starting Jan '07, for instance.\n\nThe combination of a physical card PLUS knowledge of a PIN makes for better security.   There are no end of local and international scammers who, given a knowledge-only system, would lift your info from an email, phishing scheme, dishonest merchant, etc.\n\nIt can take me many days to get rid of loose change - I do so few cash transactions anymore.  I think that will continue - e-payments of some kind will only increase.  But those e-payments and proving who you are will continue to include a physical object.  And we seem to have settled on a credit-card sized object as standard.  I expect that to continue.  Only low-security things like the supermarket club card, library card and health club membership have gone to key-chain cards.  Visa/MC also, but those aren't accepted everywhere that the fullsized ones are.\n\nI do like that airline kiosks will accept my CC as proof of identity.  I wish that the library, store club, etc, would do so.  My CC a unique number and I wish these separate businesses wouldn't require a whole new card in my wallet.\n\nMy FIL's laptop requires a thumbprint to logon (end-high consulting with sensitive data).   Makes me think, "Great, someone robs me of my laptop AND they'll want to cut off my thumb!"  A downside of  biometrics.

Civil rights- we are innocent until proved guilty, and having everyone on a database would be taking the opposite stance- like, 'you are a criminal waiting to step out of line'- terrible! It could even have a reverse effect- like, 'they reckon I'm a criminal already, so why not do crime?' We still have the right to privacy to an extent, and having all our details on a database, microchipping us when we haven't done anything wrong, that be a huge violation of personal rights.\n\n Still, the biometric ID card will be similar to the system you are suggesting. We'll see if the crime rate goes down... Even if you have everyone on a database, who will monitor the people who monitor the database?

Face it: if you're like us your laptop is more important than your car (especially since living in the city you don't even own a car). In an effort to cash in make users feel more safe carrying their investments, Absolute Software licensed the name LoJack to make a LoJack-like system for your portable. Apparently the software installs a silent agent into the machine's BIOS which sends a IP address or phone number upon Internet connection to help identify its physical location in case it should "go missing". (We're not really sure how it pulls the phone digits, though.) A bit different from SkyHook, but hey, LoJack even offers a $1,000 recovery guarantee for your machine so you feel that much more safe cruising around at night with your precious gear. Just don't forget to freaking back up and use decent passwords though, ok? Identity theft totally sucks, and you really don't want to have to get this guy on the case.

I'm using the system provided by Loginizer.com\nfor managing all my personal passwords.\nIt's easy to use and really helpful!\nI don't have any problems with my passwords anymore.

I'd do the same, but use IPX. Its more secure.

No problems with mine, it's more user dependant than anything... just create a strong password and keep your system clean of virii/keyloggers... and don't give it out eh?
