1153277 2010-11-16 03:03:00 Does anyone have any info about a viewer that needs to be downloaded to read some ANZ internet banking online statements.
Some may be being 'tricked' into paying for totally unrelated software off the website that has the viewer software download.
???

any confirmation on this ??

1153279 2010-11-16 03:44:00 I normally download as a CSV and open in Excel.

It offers MYOB and Quicken files, Rural Cash manager or Money files or CSV.

Hence, I think, the possible confusion. You can get a free Excel viewer.

There are links to download acrobat reader. Adobe's site will redirect you to another site to download the files from. Some of these sites are setup so the easily confused will download the wrong thing (ie the ad's & linked pay software)
The person in question somehow was duped into buying some unrelated software.

Cheers.

Have you tried the process? Adobe did not redirect me but the download page opened as a pop-up that wasn't full screen and the optional download of a free McAfee virus scan program wasn't obvious. When you click download for the reader you get both unless you've deselected McAfee. I didn't bother seeing if the virus scan app tried to sell another version.
