Identity Finder Free Edition is a very powerful tool to protect personal information in your local computer. This application is unique since it aims to protect specific files inside your PC. Users will usually have to encrypt the entire file system which can use a lot of resources. With identity finder, only limited resources will be used which means the application will work without requiring a lot of additional resources from your computer.

The application will allow users to scan the information on their hard drive. After file scanning, the application will show the data that should be encrypted as well as the security options for users.

Identity Finder Free Edition also offers online security. Transaction in Firefox and IE (Internet Explorer) can be encrypted and keyed-in data will not be monitored. The My Documents folder where the important files are usually located can be encrypted as well.

In addition to data encryption, users can also use the shredding tool that comes with the application. With the file shredding tool, users should be able to permanently delete the files. System cleanup and file vault function is also part of the free edition.

As a free edition, there are limitations. Identity Finder Free Edition can only protect personal financial information. Other personal information such as SSN and health information is not part of the free edition. But even with the limitation, the application should be more than enough to protect personal information for home users. The application even comes with remarkable tools such as file vault system and shredder.
