I'm a Student. Why Should I Use IdentityFinder?

Some computer viruses don't harm the software installed on your computer - instead they wait in the background and look for your sensitive information, such as Social Security Numbers, credit card numbers, and even your password to your bank's website. IdentityFinder can help you locate this kind of information and permanently remove it. Better safe than sorry!
