[QUOTE="upnorth, post: 1030802, member: 38832"] True because if the main feature of the banking protection do not work, and in F-Secure that's easy spotted and also alerted/warned about on several levels as the user themself have to manually disable several settings and/or ignore popup warnings, it's game over anyway and extra if the Bank itself and it's login/protection/security features sux. All banks over the world does not work the exact same, no matter how much we would wish for it. In the case of F-Secures banking protection specific, I would worry less. Last banking test from [USER=71496]@Adrian Ścibor[/USER] points in that direction more then enough. It's a bit disturbing see/hear other AVs that use these type of " Green bar full screen system " alerts for any site/s. They should improve it only for true genuine banking sites as that's not impossible unless there some unknown lack of knowledge and skill with their developers, because it's a huge risk their users will get a false sense of security and becomes more reckless. Still, F-Secures option with banking sites is not a panacea and never will be. If a user of any AV disable too many of the settings from for example an attackers instructions over the phone, one can just hope the bank itself has security features that would not allow any amount being transferred and not to any account in any country without being approved manually by the bank. Some banks and payment services are simply better and more safe then others. [/QUOTE]
