I use internet banking on the road. In some of the places internet access is available, cellphone coverage ISN'T :(	personthingy (1670)

334124	2005-03-15 09:23:00	I wonder if we should have a poll to see how many groans your posts in this thread has brought forth?	Metla (12)
334125	2005-03-15 09:40:00	Randomise the position of the letters and the position of the keyboard with every login. Then no matter what spy-ware you have, it would be extremely difficult to accurately deduce passwords and whatnot.	vinref (6194)
334126	2005-03-15 09:53:00	Safari and Metla ... Guys, can we please not turn this thread into a "my OS is better than yours" thread? How about we leave it alone now - thanks	Jen (38)
334127	2005-03-15 10:07:00	well Safari, when i said i was miles ahead, I was refering to the logical conclusion of my comments, as in 100 percent garentee would require a format, Little did I know at the time you would leap beyond mere logic and start ranting about formatting before every banking session. If you took it as a slur on your technical ability, then well, whatever, I have no idea of your skill level,and am as interested in it about as much as your hair colour. As for your security site scan, It won't run under Firefox with my settings,and im most certainly not going to lower them or fire up IE, I would be interested to know if anyone can run it under Firefox, Its a poor joke if it only runs under IE. Or Safari browser as i presume you run.	Metla (12)
334128	2005-03-15 10:15:00	Give it up already people. Attaching your ego to your comments/expertise/knowledge/OS is sooooo uncool.	vinref (6194)
334129	2005-03-15 10:16:00	Then you obviously misread.	Metla (12)
334130	2005-03-15 10:28:00	I see what you mean about Firefox, same with Mozilla it won't run on mine either. Safari work OK and IE Wonder if Opera works.	Safari (3993)
334131	2005-03-15 10:33:00	If I wanted to get someones password, I would have a keylogger last on my list of things to try. First when they click send or OK to send off that information the easiest way would be to catch that, it wouldent matter how the password was entered, pasted, typed backwards, you would just catch the password field.
