Legal Shield was the protection and resolution my family needed when three of us were the victims of identity theft. LegalShield IDShield was our peace of mind. Their website was user friendly and the the signup process is very easy.

We have had ID shield for years and the one time we try to use them they pretty much told us that our payments that we made an account for nothing I don’t think they’re very good credible company. Not good for the money that we paid.

Norton Life Lock is a very efficient Company. I like the rapid response to any percieved threat against my finances. Whether I am buying a car or applying for a credit card or if they notice unusual activity they notify me immediately so that I have an opportunity to prevent any damage to my finances. Thanks Life Lock for protecting me.

My family got Norton & suggested I give it a try so I did... They were forever asking me if I spent this & ordered that it was so much that I stopped caring when I heard from them so I decided Norton wasn't for me & found another company that was a better fit.
