An Identity Theft Report is a police report you file after you have become a victim of identity theft. The Identity Theft Report provides a way for you to list in detail what happened, including how much of a financial loss you had. With this report you are able to provide much detail so that credit reporting companies and the federal government can get involved to establish you as a victim. By filling out the Identity Theft Report, you are providing enough information so the authorities will know what accounts were involved and what inaccurate information came from identity theft. [br][br]If you couple the Identity Theft Report with the ID Theft Complaint Form you fill out with the Federal Trade Commission, you will be given added details as to the crime involved, and this can help with the police investigation. Not all police departments use the ID Theft Complaint Form, so you better check with your local police to find out if they do or not. If the police do not handle that form, they may use another method to capture your information instead. [br][br]Once your Identity Theft Report is filed, all credit reporting companies will have a permanent block put on your credit report, so no fraudulent information can appear on your credit report.

Many Internet users are unaware that most anti-virus programs quickly become out of date as new and more sophisticated viruses enter the world of cyber-space everyday.
Anti-virus software must be consistently updated in order to remain effective. In some cases it is necessary to buy an entirely new program to help keep your computer virus free.
Most anti-virus programs allow you to update the original program by downloading the newest and most recent updates to their virus protection system. These updates can then provide protection for your computer against new strands of viruses waiting to infect your computer.
