Identity Shield User Guide Overview

Webroot® Identity Shield provides safe Internet browsing and data protection. As you perform online transactions, it watches for Trojans or phishing sites that try to steal personal data – including user names, passwords, security codes, account numbers, and credit card numbers.

Identity Shield blocks any attempts to gain personal information, so you can rest assured that the details you provide on a website are always secure.

Two versions of Identity Shield are available:

• Identity protection only – Blocks threats that try to steal information during your online activity.
• Identity protection, plus threat detection – In addition to protecting your online activity, this version scans for threats on your computer. If you want to be able to remove threats, you must upgrade to a full version of Webroot SecureAnywhere. For more information, see Upgrading to a Threat Removal Version.
