    Likes:

    Aggressive Attitude - LifeLock uses its CEO's social security number in advertising, to prove that their service works. Thus far, he has had no actual losses as a result.

    Reasonable Price - $9 a month just isn't that bad for peace of mind.

    Automation - LifeLock automates several tasks you could do yourself, but which would require reminders and vigilance to stay on top of things.

    $1,000,000 Guarantee - how can you not like being guaranteed for a million bucks??

    Dislikes:

    Some features lacking - LifeLock has all the key services included in their offering, but are a bit behind a few of their competitors in overall features. I personally prefer a service that does something focused, and does it well, which makes this a very minor blemish for LifeLock.

    Bottom Line:

    LifeLock is a valuable service and well worth the small amount of money.
