In our view, these five rules offer the most protection for the least amount of effort. By following these rules you will greatly increase your PC's protection, not just when you use our Internet Banking services but when you use the internet generally.
They are not all the measures you can take, but are an excellent start. They are equally applicable to business owners and to private individuals:
Install anti-virus software
You may already be using anti-virus software but to be effective, the software should be updated on a regular basis with the latest virus definition files. If you are unsure how to do this, you should refer to the program's Help function.
There are many effective programs to choose from, but the most common commercial products include McAfee, Symantec (Norton) and Sophos.
It is also possible to obtain free anti-virus protection. A search for “free anti-virus” on Google will provide a list of the most popular ones.
