Crimeware gets worse - How to avoid being robbed by your PC

| Do online banking from Linux using Firefox.
| 
| You can run Linux on pretty much any computer from a 
| CD, a USB flash drive, an SD card or a Compact Flash 
| card.
| 
| Linux is free. You can download any of dozens of 
| different versions (called "distributions") in ISO 
| format and burn them to a CD.
| 
| If you don't want to create a bootable copy of Linux 
| on your own, you can buy one from On-Disk.com. CDs are 
| very cheap, flash drives and SD cards are more. If you 
| are new to Linux, I suggest ordering Ubuntu, it's 
| reasonably mainstream and comes with Firefox pre-
| installed (not all Linux distributions include 
| Firefox).
| 
| Concerned about using a new operating system? Windows 
| users may find the learning curve for Ubuntu is very 
| small.
