Life Lock offers total hands free identity theft protection and lets face it, that's what you want. Plug in your details and get on with your life knowing you and your family are completely protected against identity theft.

When we started researching the companies that specialize in identity theft protection it soon became apparent that they fell into 2categories.

• The first category are the companies that monitor your credit identity and let you know when they spot strange activity.
• The second category was Life Lock. Lifelock freezes your credit files, and guarantees no fraudulent credit will be opened on you. Lifelock also removes you from mail spam lists.

After subscribing, Life Lock will begin to remove your name from pre-approved credit card and junk mail lists and keep making the requests as they expire. Statistics show that this is one of the most common ways that thieves hijack identities. Through intercepting your mail in transit or from your mailbox.

Life Lock was the only company we found that actually protects rather than simply watches and then informs you AFTER something is wrong. ERecon - A new service added to the Lifelock subscription will scour the internet to find if your personal information is being traded, or sold malisciously.

$1,000,000.00 (one million USD) Identity theft "insurance" guarantee. Life Lock will do whatever it takes to help you recover your good name and they will spend up to $1,000,000 to do it.

Summary

For around 30 cents a day Life Lock represents outstanding value for money. The current customers we spoke to had nothing but praise for their customer service and care. Throw in the million dollar guarantee for complete peace of mind and really, there is no excuse for anyone to fall a victim to identity theft again. However this is really only half the battle. Removing your information from data farms is highly suggested. Lifelock is a good defensive measure, but to be more secure, a proactive response is needed.
