    I wonder what safety precautions I should be talking to protect my details?

    My son uses a PC for his college IT course work and an Apple Mac for on-line banking and browsing. He bought the Mac second-hand off eBay. Cost about £200. Obviously even a Mac won't protect the encephalically-challenged from "phishing" scams but it will protect from key-loggers, spyware etc. So, if you are really concerned, have a trawl through eBay. For web browsing, even an old G3 model will suffice.
