So, I've been thinking about using a service like lifelock since I'm constantly putting my information out there. I try to be careful of what sites I do enter although I'm sure at one point or another I've plugged in information to either a scam site or ones that sell your information. My question to everyone is, has anyone used this service or a similar service? Is it worth it? And does it interfere with your sweeping? It says it scans the Internet for your information, do they delete what they find (like your entries). Thanks!
