Online Banking virus problem

There is absolutely no way that I would use a PC running Windows for online banking!

Been using mine for years without a problem.

In fact the last time I had a virus or anything on my computer was back in the day using floppies.

Not had anything in years, Should I be paranoid about using it for banking?

Dont be fooled... Just because your antivirus does not say you have been infected, it does not necessarily mean you're clean.

Dont be paranoid, but more cautious than anything. These days users get infected without opening any suspicious *.exe files or e-mails.
... just keep an updated antivirus and periodically do an online scan using another antivirus company (just encase yours misses something).

Hi,


I have phoned both banks (abbey and A&L) but their call centres are of little help.

Thanks

'Nuff said. You should read what Diana Wright of Sunday Times Money has to say about Abbey. I would not entrust either of these banks with my money. Change your on line bank and get better service."

Quote from yesterday's Question of Money

As regular readers will know, the Question of Money mailbag has had huge numbers of complaints about Abbey. None has made for happy reading, but your case so infuriated me that I wrote a personal letter to the head of Abbey's Retail Direct Division.
