Just installed. Has a lot of positive reviews. Would like to try it but it goes straight to sign in page. The only problem with that is that it doesn't allow you to create the account you're supposed to be signing into. Disappointed.

ID Theft Defense is an excellent tool for keeping track of sensitive personal information. Any changes or alerts are issued in a timely manner, so you can stay on top of problems. I can access information from my phone at any time. I highly recommend ID Theft Defense to all, especially busy people on the go.
