Overview

There have been 4.3 million cases of identity fraud in the UK to date and hackers are finding ever more imaginative ways of stealing your personal data.

The best way to protect yourself and your finances against such an attack is to install security software on your PC. McAfee Anti-theft is a program built specifically to protect against file and identity theft.

What we like best

The installation process of this software is quick and painless and its concept is simple and convenient. You can store your financial data and other personal information in password protected vaults, and your password can be reset if you happen to forget it.

It is reassuring to know that McAfee uses advanced technology in this product to help you stay ahead of hackers and other threats that plague the Internet.

This software keeps your personal files safe, even if you share a PC.

What we like least

McAfee says that its Anti-theft software is compatible with all your current PC security software, but cannot guarantee that it will work with future versions.

The verdict

McAfee Anti-theft software is an inexpensive and extremely useful addition to anyone’s PC security. By taking a few minutes to install this on your computer you could end up saving yourself loads of time and money in having to deal with the repercussions of your financial data being stolen. It is ideal for people who do a lot of business on their PC and need to keep it secure.
