Identity Finder

Identity Finder is a super handy tool that helps keep your personal info safe on your computer. Even if you have a good antivirus, there’s still a chance of identity fraud. That's why it's smart to use tools that can help you remove or encrypt private data.

How Does Identity Finder Work?

This software scans for sensitive information all over your computer. It checks places like your web browser history, cookies, instant messenger logs, email attachments, the Windows Registry, and more. Pretty cool, right?

User-Friendly Features

One great thing about Identity Finder is its wizard approach. This feature is perfect for those who might not be tech-savvy. You can learn how to set up searches easily as you go along. If you're more experienced, you can skip the wizard and get right into setting specific search parameters.

Search Modes Available

The program offers three different search modes: quick, standard, and comprehensive. You even have the option to create your own custom search! The quick mode looks for things like credit card numbers and passwords in your web browser and Documents folder.

The standard mode digs deeper by searching for social security numbers along with credit card info in those same areas plus email accounts. Finally, the comprehensive mode does a thorough check of all personal info stored on your computer.

Selecting What to Search For

You can choose what kinds of private info you want the program to look for—like bank account numbers, birthdays, phone numbers, emails, passport numbers, and passwords. Once it’s done searching, it shows you where all this sensitive data is located.

Scheduling Searches Made Easy

Scheduling searches is super simple with this tool! Plus, it keeps logs of any errors and provides statistics about what it found during scans.

Options After Searching

You have options for dealing with sensitive information after searching: encrypting it with passwords, permanently deleting it from your computer, or moving it to quarantine.

All in all, Identity Finder is an excellent solution for preventing leaks of sensitive data from your computer. It's packed with features but remains easy to use!
