"AVG Identity Protection gives you an extra layer of protection on top of your existing security software to keep you safe from today's most prevalent online crime, identity theft. It is specifically designed to help prevent thieves from using carefully-targeted attacks to steal your passwords, bank account details, credit card numbers, and other digital valuables. It uses a technology called behavioral analysis to make sure all the programs running on your computer are operating the way they should. If it spots something suspicious that could indicate an attempted ID theft attack, it shuts that activity down, preventing any possible theft from happening. It doesn't matter whether you're running AVG software or security software from another vendor; IDP runs smoothly alongside all popular programs to keep you safer when they're online."

I don't use it as I employ other ID protection methods, but if you want it.......
