Identity Theft Protection:  An Ounce Of Prevention Is Worth A Pound Of Cure

Has your computer ever become infected by a virus or spyware?  Remember the painful, lengthy process it was to remove it?  If you’ve experienced this, the first thing you probably did after the problem was solved was add anti-virus or anti-spyware to your computer to prevent this all-too-common nightmare from happening again.

The above situation is directly comparable to identity theft – simple to prevent, tremendously difficult to solve.  The old adage of “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” is truer in identity theft than anywhere else.
