Subject:   Online banking

Hi,

Sent this query a couple of days ago but it seems to have vanished into 
the ether.

My query:
Would it be safer to do online banking using a live CD rather than one's 
normal OS  so that nothing gets written to the HD?

Regards,

Alan Duval

Hi Alan.

There is a lot more to security of online banking than that, but it's a
good start.

You will need to describe the circumstnces more though.

Is it to be from home, or a public place?

Anyone apart from you going to do the banking?

Lots more questions, but my brain is saturated with this week.

Best regards
