Identity Protector

Posted: October 17, 2017

The Identity Protector is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), which is developed and maintained by PCVARK, a company whose name is tied to other PUPs. The Identity Protector program is meant to help users protect their online identity by helping them get rid of potentially identifiable information, manage usernames and passwords, as well as to carry out other tasks that might help them stay anonymous while browsing the Web. However, testing the software's functionality reveals that the Identity Protector always displays an incredibly large number of recommended fixes and optimizations, and a quick look at them shows that many of the entries are exaggerated. This is likely done with one single purpose – to convince users that their anonymity is at stake, and they need to take action immediately to keep themselves safe.

The Identity Protector does not offer to fix any issues for free, and the trial version is only able to generate a report, as well as to display reminders whose goal is to tell users that their identity needs to be protected, and they have to purchase the full product to gain access to the Identity Protector's full functionality.

The cost of the Identity Protector is $39.99, and we assure you that spending your hard-earned money on this dodgy product is not a good move. The Identity Protector is classified as a PUP so that removing it is not something mandatory. The uninstall process can be carried out either via the Windows Control Panel manually or by using a suitable PC security scanner.
