VIDEO PROFESSOR ANNOUNCES MAJOR ID THEFT PROTECTION UPGRADES (Lakewood CO)

VIDEO PROFESSOR, the leader in computer home tutorials, is increasing its leadership role in the fight against Identity Theft.

Starting Dec 15, the Lakewood, Co based company is providing free identity theft information on its website at www.videoprofessor.com. Consumers will be able to get free identity theft protection information and even subscribe to a free monthly e-letter with the latest tips and news on ID Theft, a crime quickly becoming a national epidemic. All these services will be provided free to consumers without cost or obligation.

Additionally, the company is rolling out a new Identity Theft Protection package of CD's to teach consumers about Identity Theft, what to do if their identity is stolen along with newly developed Virus Protection Software plus a new Firewall Protection Security System and Installation tutorial.

A bonus for those that buy the package is up to $25,000 in Personal Protection Coverage in the unlikely event your personal information is stolen.

So why is the leader in computer tutorial instruction taking this leadership role in Identity Theft Protection? The answer is a simple one.

"I was the victim of Identity Theft myself," says John Scherer, CEO and founder of VIDEO PROFESSOR. "It's cost me tens of thousands of dollars, months of valuable time fighting to get my identity back plus all the legal costs involved. It was simply, a nightmare."

John also found out some frightening facts:

* One out of every eight Americans is a victim

* Average losses are in the thousands of dollars

* Hackers work around the clock to break into your computer

"If it could happen to me, I knew it could happen to anyone," says Scherer. "So I created a team here at VIDEO PROFESSOR to provide the protection every one using a computer needs."

"Computers are a wonderful tool and we've taught millions of people to use them," says Scherer. "They're a great way to communicate, shop on line and you can do it all safely, if you're prepared and protected. One of the critical elements we wanted to include is not just the virus protection and firewall, but the easy-to-understand tutorial instruction to help protect you and your family."
