Shame on NatWest. They assume people have keyloggers (Windows malware), so

Why would a high-street bank need to have corridor pages with ads for security
software (never mind what O/S the visitor uses):
"Win one of 500 McAfee Internet Security Suite 2007 Packages (RRP 49.99GBP)
when you make a payment during July
If you use OnLine banking to make a payment during July, we will enter you into
our Free Prize Draw for a chance to win one of 500 McAfee Internet Security
Suite 2007 CDs. With this package, you can enjoy 8 in 1 protection when you
surf the web, shop, bank and e-mail. We have 500 to give-away, so make a
payment for a chance to win!"
That's what you have to click through every time you log in... to a national
banking institution.
