Identity Patrol was originally developed as an advanced tool to protect your online identity from any attempt to access your personal information. Our users quickly realized that although the program was engineered to protect against identity theft, the process of which it accomplished this made it an extremely powerful anti-spyware tool that was capable of detecting more than 116,000 known spyware threats including key loggers, malware, worms, trojans and system monitoring software - in fact in lab testing, Identity Patrol was able to detect all three hidden monitoring software test titles that were guaranteed by their distributors to be undetectable on the infected system. ( see our website for test results ) Because the program performs an extensive scan of your entire file and hard drive structure, it has the ability to find rogue programs that threaten your identity and privacy, and has a far higher detection rate then traditional spyware detection and removal programs.
