A couple of quick tips for improving online banking security.
From Jeremiah Grossman, founder of WhiteHat Security Inc. (via SouthTownStar) use a different browser for online banking.
Use one for daily Web surfing. Grossman calls that browser a "sacrificial lamb." It sops up any
attacks that might come your way during normal surfing - everything except online banking.
Then use an alternate browser only for online banking and close it once you're done.
Of course, why didn't I think of that.
Refresh your operating system. This is getting a lot easier. I routinely reload the OS on my Asus Eee from ROM, it takes minutes. I keep documents in Google Docs or other cloud storage so I don't have to worry about backups. It's a good way to purge unwanted digital junk, malicious and otherwise.
