Mmm . . . was in a car dealership today and in a mindbogglingly stupid moment went into Barclays site to check on funds. It was an open network.

I realised in a nanosecond, but of course, the damage may well have been done.

Also, having to have a secure phone as suggested above is a pain. Barclays is the only real danger . . . erm, isn't it?

They give me Kaspersky for the phone as well, but given the problems I've had with them, I'm not that confident. Phone soft probem was sorted by them fairly quickly, but now the PC's cover is just stopping, requesting an update of definitions, and demanding a re-boot before resuming. I've had enough.

(The Rivetess has exactly the same problem - different address, computer, and install of Kaspersky.)
