Not sure its in the terms and conditions of most banks, but they may say they advise you to use it.

Exactly my point. They advise you to use it. You don't use it, so giving them a bolthole the size of the Channel Tunnel. But maybe I'm being unfair to the banks, we can trust them can't we?

They recommend not advise. There is no reason to follow their recommendation if you have sufficient security s/ware. Anyway it's not a T&C.

it's not good software, cripples XP based netbooks and I usually remove it as I am yet to encounter anyone who knows a) they have it installed and b) what it does.

It seems to mainly consist of telling me I have entered the same information somewhere new that I have used elsewhere. Which given I have the inherent discipline to juggle only three online personas (public, semi-private and private) comes as no surprise to me that I have done so.

I'm in the category of never having installed it - for the simple reason that I just couldn't tell what is was supposed to do & what impact (adverse or otherwise) it would have on my PC!
