Trusteer with Android

hansi

I just want to ask a simple question which IBM cannot seem to answer. I would like to add ( before I get flamed) that I have been using Trusteer very successfully in conjunction with online banking. However as I have been using XP and IBM no longer support it, rather than go to the expense of buying a new laptop, I have downloaded my bank's mobile app to my Android Samsung tablet.
Now, as Trusteer is primarily designed to work with online banking websites ( as against apps) do I need Trusteer protection, and how do I go about it if I don't actually access my bank through its website. Sorry to sound complicated,but IBM didn't seem to know what I was getting at. Hope you do!

You don't need it with any operating system, I doubt if you'll find many people on here with much good to say about it, and the general consensus is likely to be that you're better off without it, on Android and everything else.

You do not need it. Use whatever security your bank offers for their online banking.

Or simply use your own common sense and keep secure...

Trusteer...........what a load of rubbish.
And no you don't need it.

IBM's EULA basically gives both IBM and your bank full access to your computer and all your files. One quick example: "In addition, You authorize personnel of IBM, as Your Sponsoring Enterprise's data processor, to use the Program remotely to collect any files or other information from your computer that IBM security experts suspect may be related to malware or other malicious activity, or that may be associated with general Program malfunction."

The full EULA is available at http://www.trusteer.com/support/end-...ense-agreement

I would strongly suggest that, if you are keeping it on your PC, you make sure that you have read the EULA.

Is that a good enough answer?

You definitely don't need it and would be better off without it....However, if after that being answered you still have some obscure reason for wanting it, just download the Trusteer Mobile Browser from the Play store. You will have to log into your banking via the browser though.....
You cannot use it via your banking app and you don't need it for that anyway...
