Hi everybody. :-)


Downloaded and tested shieldapps Identity Theft Preventer Premium 1.1.1, IDTPreventerSetup.exe, directly from their website (later I downloaded GAOTD package and found the setup.exe is equal to shieldapps' one):
1) Safe according to Windows Defender, SAS 6 free, MBAM 2 free, EEK free.
2) Safe according to metadefender (38/39: DrWeb engine didn't check the file, avg reported nothing)
3) Safe according to virustotal (59/64: 4 engines didn't check the file, DrWeb reported Program.Unwanted.2243, avg reported nothing).
4) Safe according to jotti (16/18: DrWeb reported Program.Unwanted.2243, avg reported Win32/Hedo)
5) Safe according to virscan (36/39: fprot reports W32/Felix:EX:007!Eldorado, kingsoft reported VIRUS_UNKNOWN, clamav reported PUA.Win.Packer.Pseudosigner-36, DrWeb reported nothing, avg reported nothing).


CONS:
1) the portable version doesn't exist
2) the program is not maximizable
3) it starts directly the scan after I have started it
4) the scan lasts too much
5) my language (Italian) is massacrated: it should be corrected. (I won't judge English sentences because it's not my first language)
6) after changing language to English and applied the new setting, the program restarted itself, but it tried to set itself to run at system startup.
7) "check for the update automatically" is already ticked. This should be unticked for GAOTD versions (I don't think this setting would have changed even if I had registered the program).
8) "winner of multiple privacy awards" present in the "register now" window and in the exit window. Any links to the awards?
9) when using the unregistered/trial version, I can't either check or verify the "high-risk documents".
10) "high-risk documents" are not really "high-risky"...
11) the "cancel" button doesn't cancel the "deep scan" of "high-risk documents" (or it blocks the scan after some seconds/minutes).

PROS (Point 10 of CONS nullifies all the three points of PROS):
1) it found 34 high-risk documents, before and after a complete cleaning (I used wise care 365).
2) when using the registered version, I can check and verify the "high-risk documents".
3) deep scan found more "high-risk documents".


My suggestions: remove the cons.
Not impressed.
"Uninstalled via reboot".

Installation and activation went flawlessly on Windows 10 (64bit). When ran it produced some odd results. According to this software my Yahoo email credentials were at risk and it found credit card details on my PC which would have been fine, except for the fact that I never had a Yahoo email account and I certainly not stupid to store anything like credit card details on my PC. In total it found 28 "vulnerabilities" all of which were read_me text files which contained no personal information whatsoever ... Not sure to what to make of this software, as far as I can see it's fairly useless. Maybe the developer would care to explain this.

Ivan, the best camera blocker I ever used was duct tape. Just tear off a small piece and place it over your camera lens :)

A very BASIC program, not worthy being on my computer. These are all things that people should know about anyhow, if they don;t, then they need to google it. I store all my passwords in my browser simply because I suffer from MS induced dementia... everything else it wanted to delete, same thing. If someone wants to go to all that trouble to steal my identity then good luck to them... It won't do them much good. I have already been imitated on FaceBook and after all my friends reported them, the bogus me went away. It might suit Bill Gates... especially in he uses any version of Windows.. but OK.... uninstalled from my computer.

If I can't keep track of what and where I store any sensitive information on my computer, I shouldn't be storing it there in the first place. Why do I need a questionable piece of software to tell me what I already know? And what will "one click" do? Will it erase the sensitive data? Will it encrypt it? Will it send it "home"? No thanks.
