    This is way better than Trusteer as it doesn't keep being flagged up as scamware by the likes of Malwarebytes and Cclean.

    I'm not fully aware of the features of the free Kaspersky software from Barclays, but I was under the impression Trusteer provides an additional layer of security over and above that provided by Kaspersky and other similar packages.

    If that is the case then saying Kaspersky 'is way better than Trusteer' is a bit misleading because they are doing different things.

    If the OP is interested then Nationwide Building Society are one of the banking organisations using Trusteer, and I doubt they would suggest using it if it really is scamware.

    If you go to "nationwide dot co dot uk" - then search for the words 'trusteer rapport' it will give you a link to a how-it-works page which explains the features and benefits and how to download and install it. You don't need to be a Nationwide customer to view the relevant pages.

    There are significant problems with trusteer rapport, eventhough its I s recommend by several banks.

    It's by no means a simple decision.

    Many people on these forums have removed Rapport as it is basically a keylogger which in my case slowed my system down by an unacceptable level.

    Same here, it slowed my laptop down so much that it was difficult to use. I wouldn't use Rapport again if they paid me.
