We have had no problems. But we only log on at home and have extremely complex passwords! (it's not Kirsty either)

We've all done it in this house for years with no problems at all. I do it on my phone as well!

Put it in a tin box under your bed! *is only half joking*

I do it all the time. No problems at all.

I did have a glitch with mine.. some Ukrainian person managed to pay himself £400 from my account! No virus detected by my (updated) Macafee , but appears to have been some kind of keylogging thing going on, Finally got the money back, and changed security software ,

I will only be doing it from home, no mobile stuff. Do i need a top notch security package ie- Mcafee, Norton etc; as i have only a free security package at the moment? Avast. Am thinking of going from my BS to Barclays where i can get card/cheque book/manage account online etc;

Been at it for years and no problems. The one thing to look out for with any internet money dealings is the little padlock symbol. This is a good sign that the site is secure, and some banks have an additional system to verify you are the account holder before you can do any transactions.

So Mcafee didnt detect it? you have me worried now. Do Barclays pay money back which have been removed? or any banks?

The bank i am thinking of using is Barclays- seems to have all i need.Can you see if this is a safe banking option for me.

*Knits some yoghurt sandals*

Evil bankers are evil

It didn't ! Downloaded a freebie that did though . My bank did refund me but I did have to wait ages, and they reported it to the cops ( who rang me and were dead sympathetic but a bit bewildered about what they were supposed to do about Ukrainian internet banking fraud ! )

No I have never done internet banking I worry it is not safe I do all my transactions by the 24 hour phone banking system, I have been doing this for years and very happy with this service, it is nice to hear a friendly voice at the other end of the phone

No, not in my opinion and not in the opinion of those who are in the know about internet security.

Barclays give you a free copy of Kaspersky.

Internet banking is safe as long as you're as careful as you should be anywhere on the net. If you have worries, you should contact Barclays about it. If they can't reassure you, don't go with them.

I have used it for years. I use Natwest which is very safe and I have a card reader if I want to do any transactions to someone else's account,

Re security - I use a free one  AVG. It has been fine so far.

I have used internet banking for some time without a problem.

Re passwords - the password I use for my bank is a random mix of letters and numbers at least 10 characters long, and I never get my computer to remember the password.

I have been doing internet banking for years and I have Avast and a free firewall as well, I reckon the free internet download security programmes are as good as anything you can buy, my computer repair guy swears by them and he should know.  Also look out not only for the padlock symbol but that the internet site address has hpps and not just hpp.

i'm with halifax and they are very good - have had no problems, not only password but security questions and other password with "drop down " selection as well

I use it all the time - no problems yet *touch wood* Which building society are you with? Do they not do Internet banking too? I'm with Nationwide and they do... excessive security at times, have to use my keypad thing to do any transaction, which is a pain if I want to pay 4 bills at once or summat, but I suppose it's good they're thinking about security

I'm with Santander,they have so much security on their sites,I find it hard to get into myself.

I've never had any problems.  But never log on to my bank account at work and also didn't use my mothers maiden name as a security question (People who know me would be able to work this out)

With mine, I get a customer number, a piece of personal information - I chose 3 and can enter any one of them, and a passphrase - that is 6 numbers long and they ask for 3 numbers at random from it.

Then when I get in I have to use the card reader to do any transactions

I have a random number to log in with then additional security password which has to be numbers and letters.,,,mine is 11 characters long and they ask for 6 random characters...that's RBS..,,I have managed to lock myself put before...damn caps lock.,,and had to phone the security centre to get it reset..,they wanted to know so much info as well as the security question befor they reset it. Any online purchases have to go through online security password checks again.

I've used internet banking for years without a problem... current account, savings, three credit cards, mortage, the whole shebang.    Only problem I ever had was when I left my debit card in the chip and pin in the Co-op.    I foolishly didn't report it (because I phoned as soon as I got home and was told the young lad on the till had handed it into customer services) and two weeks later there was £30 on it for an American online gaming site, so the little scrote had obviously taken the numbers before he handed it in!    Got the money back with one phone call though.  I couldn't be assed with having to go into a bank again.
