How to protect yourself from trojans when banking online

Make sure your anti-virus software is up to date.

Keep firewalls set to the highest level.

Never open an e-mail attachment from someone you don't know.

Never double-click on an e-mail attachment that ends in .exe. It is an 'executable' file and can do what it likes in your system.

If you think your machine has already been infected, contact your bank immediately. If the bank thinks you are a genuine victim of fraud it will reimburse you.
