Every single Barclays bank customer who uses online banking isbeing given a free copy of the basic F-Secure anti virus suite which normallyretails for  45 for two years. The free software also includes two years worth ofupdates to ensure that customerÂ's computers are adequately protected.
Barnaby Davis, director of Electronic Banking at Barclays Bank, commented, Â F-SecureÂ's Anti-Virus product will provide our customers with excellent protection,giving them peace of mind when using the Internet and banking online, withoutannoying them with pop-ups and confusing instructionsÂ
Research had found that 56% of consumers do not have an active anti-virus solutionrunning on their home computers; which if they are conducting banking transactionsand buying goods online is a very risky business.
Barclays, like Lloyds TSB and the Alliance and Leicester is just the latest bank totake steps to protect its online banking clients. In addition to a free anti virussolution, Barclays also send text messages to users, when money is moved using theironline accounts.
Rob Green, Managing Director of computer support company Century Computing(http://www.CenturyC omputing.co.uk) commented that  this is an applaudable steptaken by Barclays and every single PC should be protected by some kind of anti virusand firewall solution. Businesses are in an even more precarious position thanconsumers, especially when conducting ecommerce or storing sensitive customer dataand we will not provide communications lines like ADSL, SDSL and MPLS if anenterprise firewall solution is not available at the customerÂ's site. It would justbe irresponsible.Â
