PCMag has helped you pick the best antivirus ever since the software for it existed. We also stay on top of new types of protection, like personal data removal services that prevent data brokers from selling your personal information. These services scour the many people search and data broker websites for your personal data and act as your proxy for requesting the removal of your data. We consider a variety of criteria in our evaluations, including price, ease of use, and the number of data aggregators each can handle, and we test their protective abilities directly.
