Nationwide Building Society's On Line Banking has today (for me at least) recommended 'Trusteer Rapport' as their chosen Anti Virus protector for internet banking customers.
This is their link: http://www.trusteer.com/
Lot of banks are, but be aware it is not an AV product, it is an anti-keylogger/screengrabber.
I found it to be a bit buggy tbh, others mileage may vary.
I've found Prevx with Safe On Line to be much better.

I have just installed it and found no problems with it at the moment.

I haven't either, seems to be a good deal for free :dunno: If it was a duffer ::) I would have thought that Nationwide Building Society (and many, many other online banks) would not have given it the thumbs up :dunno:

Do some reviews on it, people had some issues, personally I think it gives users a false sense of protection and it had at the time also been compromised, it slowed browsing down caused a few crashes, but that was a while back, also their claims seemed a bit over inflated. Uninstalling it it was almost impossible well but I imagine that has changed and for some it had issues on a multi user system.
On a side note If you believe the banks have our best interests at heart....well just saying I'd be careful with that piece of thinking they protect themselves first and foremost. ;)

Id go with Prevx myself as you say, Ray.

I have an account with Nationwide and always use Linux to access their site, as I do for all my financial sites. Typical of Nationwide's badly coded web site it offered me the oportunity to install Rapport yesterday :dunno:
I used this under Vista and it caused massive slowdown on webpages. I had to ditch it, and haven't used it since. Still, I'm VERY careful so I don't really need it, although I now use Windows 7.
I have now uninstalled it, as I noticed my web browsing was a little slower and the fact that it was blocking the Microsoft Home Server forums. Despite uninstalling it with Revo Uninstaller, I still had to delete hidden empty directories and pick out and delete a number of registry entries which Revo had left behind despite choosing the maximum removal option.

Running it under XP Pro with no problems.

Mine still running well on W7 and pages are opening as rapidly as ever, no probs so far :dunno:
Trusteer have just pushed out an update so might be worth trying?
Might be better to have it installed if you use online banking and your bank recommends it because the systems seem to check that its installed and running (and presumably log this) so could use it as a get out in the event of a problem?

I have actually re-installed it several days ago and it now seems OK, so I do not know why I was having problems with some MS websites which were not actually even configured for it. Obviously it must have been something else which has now righted itself.

Had some issues starting Windows when I rebooted after installing the update so had to boot in Safe Mode, use msconfig to start the system in diagnostic startup, enable Windows Installer in Service Control Manager, uninstall it, reboot as normal and then reinstall, it been ok since.
