The Command bar, Menu bar, etc are usually switched off by a right click on a bare area (say just to the right of the New Tab area). Unless you also disabled the toolbars from the Add-Ons in which case go Tools>Manage Add-Ons. Enable and re-enable from there.

Hi, thanks very much, had to restore to yesterday because of gremlins so command is back. Much appreciated.

Is there anybody out there for whom Rapport DOES work without problems, and for whom it DOES provided extra protection.....!!?

It works perfectly for me - the difference seems to be that I downloaded mine from the Natwest link, a lot of the problems seem to be with people getting it via HSBC.

(I realise lots of people may post to say that the link is the same - I haven't checked it out but am glad that it works for me).

If passwords are copied from a spreadsheet does this help defeat keyloggers?

It most probably will, depends how sophisticated the keylogger is. But I'd think you'd be taking a greater risk by having your password saved anywhere. You'd be better off using a virtual keyboard as discussed previously.

Trouble is if one has loads of different online accounts as I have, it becomes difficult to remember all the passwords, PINS, memorable info etc, so using a program such as KeePass is useful. Protect everything with a really hard to guess single password.

But sure if a you have loads of spreadsheets and word documents and you camouflage the password somewhere within without identifying it as your password why would this be a greater risk? , the question was do keyloggers pick up on copy and paste? BTW didn't someone say that only a hardware/software (not sure which) virtual will defeat keyloggers?

Of course you can camouflage it, hide it, password protect it but there's always going to be greater risk if you have something in the physical.

Most probably do not but it is not an impossibility for them to be able to. If it takes screenshots then this method is useless.

You can't have a virtual hardware keyboard. Nothing is completely foolproof but it's probably a persons best bet though I think some type in a way that keyloggers can record.

There are forms of keyloggers which capture any data filled into a form which is then submitted. I'm not sure if banks have, or can, take measures against this. Of course then copying and pasting, virtual keyboards etc. are useless.

This point seems to be a good one in this discussion for Trusteer to chime in and comment on the points raised in these recent posts, especially post #188

I use keepass all the time for keeping all sorts of data safe
You can include shortcuts to your bank etc. and no need to type anything at all you can just drag the password to the website so its ultra safe

I also keep an excel file for private data like birthdays etc which I password protect
From a limited google search I gather that its pretty difficult to crack excel password files

I have just installed this software and have found my boot-up time which is usually 1-2 minutes is now 5 minutes. It takes ages now. I know it's this software because I un-installed it and went back to a minute boot-up time and then re-installed it and went back to 5 or more minutes. Anyone else found this?
