"I thought the free software my son put on years ago was enough. Then I got a letter saying someone had applied for a car loan in my name. ShieldNest caught the next attempt before anything happened."
Americans lost $38 billion to identity fraud and scams in 2025. Older adults lose more per victim than any other age group — because they have more to lose. ShieldNest is the simple, affordable protection that runs quietly in the background while you live your life.

Your nephew put something on your computer a while back. Maybe it was a free antivirus he downloaded. Maybe it was the trial version that ran out six months ago. You haven't had any problems, so you figure you're fine. That's exactly what criminals are counting on.
Some programs are designed to sit quietly for weeks or months, watching everything you type — including your banking passwords — before anyone notices anything is wrong.
That email from "your bank" asking you to verify your account? Criminals spend real money making those look legitimate. One click is all it takes to hand over your login credentials.
Scammers already know your name, your bank, sometimes even the last four digits of your account. They use that to earn your trust — and then clean you out.
Even if your computer is clean, your Social Security number, credit, and personal records can still be stolen and used to open accounts in your name — without ever touching your device.
Identity thieves have shifted their focus. They know retirees have more in savings, paid-off homes, and clean credit. That makes you more valuable to them — and more vulnerable. Bank account fraud accounts for a higher share of identity theft among older Americans than any other age group.
A scammer calls pretending to be your bank's fraud department. They already know enough to sound real. They talk you into "verifying" your account. Days later, you check your balance and it's gone. Wire transfers are nearly impossible to reverse.
Documented cases: six-figure lossesSomeone uses your Social Security number to open a credit card you never applied for. They max it out immediately. You don't find out for months — until a bill collector calls. By then, your credit is already damaged.
Recovery time: often a year or moreThieves use information stolen in a data breach to contact your brokerage posing as you. They request a withdrawal and have the check mailed to a new address. Retirement accounts have fewer fraud protections than your debit card.
Often unrecoverable once withdrawnA criminal files a tax return using your Social Security number before you do. They claim your refund. When you file, yours gets rejected as a duplicate. The IRS takes an average of nearly two years to sort it out.
IRS resolution: often over a year"Nearly half of identity theft victims report their issues are still unresolved a full year after discovery. For people on a fixed income, that's not an inconvenience — that's a financial crisis with no clear end date."
What ties these stories together: most victims had no idea anything was wrong until the damage was done. The malware was quiet. The credit card surfaced in a collection notice. And the money was only the beginning — the next year goes to phone calls, paperwork, and hold music, proving to banks, the IRS, and credit bureaus that you are who you say you are.
You spent 40 years building this security. Keeping it shouldn't become a second job — and with the right protection watching for you, it isn't.
"I thought the free software my son put on years ago was enough. Then I got a letter saying someone had applied for a car loan in my name. ShieldNest caught the next attempt before anything happened."
"The setup call was the best part. A real person walked me through everything in plain English. Took about 20 minutes. I didn't feel stupid asking questions, and I finally feel like I know what's protecting me."
"My daughter kept telling me to get something better than what I had. I kept putting it off. Then I got a call from ShieldNest's team about suspicious activity on my credit. Turns out someone had tried to open an account. Caught it cold."
ShieldNest was built with one person in mind — someone who wants to be safe online without needing a computer science degree to understand what's protecting them. Here's what runs quietly in the background every day.
Blocks harmful software before it lands on your computer — whether it sneaks in through a link, an email attachment, or a suspicious website you didn't know was dangerous.
Scam emails and fake websites get flagged automatically. That email from "your bank" asking you to log in? ShieldNest checks it in real time and warns you before you click anything.
We watch the dark web and financial databases for your Social Security number, banking information, and personal details — and alert you the moment anything suspicious turns up.
If someone tries to open a loan, credit card, or account in your name, you get notified right away — not weeks later when the bill arrives in the mail.
Store all your passwords in one safe, encrypted place. One master password to remember — that's it. No more sticky notes on the monitor.
A real person answers the phone when you call. No overseas call centers, no hour-long wait times. When something looks wrong, you can reach someone who speaks plainly and acts fast.
Choose the level of protection that fits your needs. Not sure? Our team will help you decide on the setup call — no pressure, no upsells.
Pick a time that works for you. A real ShieldNest team member calls you directly — no scheduling software to figure out, no Zoom links.
Your team member stays on the phone while everything gets set up. They explain what's happening in plain English the whole time. Most setups take under 30 minutes.
From that point on, you're protected 24 hours a day. You'll get simple alerts if anything needs your attention — and our support line is always there if you have questions.
Every ShieldNest member gets a one-on-one setup call with a US-based team member. No tech experience needed. We take care of everything — you just answer the phone.
Plans start at $9 a month. A real person sets everything up for you. Your first 30 days are fully guaranteed — if ShieldNest isn't right for you, you pay nothing.

I called my grandson after I signed up and told him what I'd gotten. He said, 'Grandma, that's exactly what I should've set up for you five years ago.' That told me everything I needed to know.
We know you may have hesitations. Maybe you've been burned before by a subscription you couldn't figure out how to cancel. Maybe you're not sure if this will actually work on your computer. Maybe you just don't like spending money on something you can't see working.
Those are all fair concerns. So here's our commitment: if you sign up for any ShieldNest plan and decide within 30 days that it's not right for you — for any reason at all — we'll refund your first month's payment. No forms to fill out. No runaround. One phone call and it's done.
You have nothing to lose by trying. And if even one alert catches one attempt on your bank account or your identity, the protection pays for itself many times over.
Yes. ShieldNest uses bank-level encryption to protect everything you share with us. Your Social Security number, financial account details, and personal information are stored in encrypted form — meaning even if someone tried to break in, they'd see nothing readable.
We also never sell your information to third parties. Ever. You're a member, not a product. The only thing we do with your data is use it to monitor for threats on your behalf.
This is exactly why we built the free setup call into every plan. You don't have to figure anything out on your own. A real ShieldNest team member will call you, stay on the phone with you, and walk you through every single step in plain English — no technical terms, no rushing you through.
Once it's set up, ShieldNest runs completely in the background. You won't see anything unless there's something that needs your attention, and even then we keep the alerts simple and clear. Most of our members say it's the easiest thing they've ever set up on their computer.
One phone call. That's it. No contracts, no cancellation fees, no pressure to stay. We'd rather earn your trust every month than lock you in. If you call and say you want to cancel, we process it the same day.
We'll ask if there was anything we could have done better — because we genuinely want to know — but you are never under any obligation to explain yourself, and you will never be charged for a month you already cancelled.
It depends on what you have. Some older or free antivirus programs can run alongside ShieldNest without any problem. Others may conflict. That's another thing your setup call handles — your team member will look at what's already on your computer and tell you exactly what to do.
In most cases it's a simple uninstall that takes two minutes. We walk you through that too. You don't need to figure any of it out ahead of time.
You'll get a simple alert — on your computer or by email, whichever you prefer. It will tell you in plain language what was detected and what to do next. For most threats, ShieldNest handles it automatically and the alert is just letting you know it was caught.
For identity alerts — like a new account being opened in your name — your alert will include a direct phone number to reach our US-based support team. We walk you through the next steps, help you understand what happened, and tell you exactly which agencies to contact if needed. You are not alone in this.
Free antivirus protects your device. That's it. It can't monitor your Social Security number. It doesn't watch for new accounts being opened in your name. It doesn't scan the dark web for your banking credentials. And it definitely doesn't call you when something suspicious happens.
ShieldNest covers both layers — your computer and your identity. That combination is what closes the gap that criminals exploit. Most identity theft never touches your computer at all. It happens through data breaches at companies you've done business with, through stolen mail, or through scammers who've bought your information from another criminal. Free antivirus has no way to catch any of that.
ShieldNest protects your computer, your bank account, and your identity — starting for less than $9 a month. A real person sets everything up for you. You just answer the phone.
