Log off and clear your PC’s cache when you finish your banking sessions
Logging off and cache clearing could clear all traces of your visits from the PC’s memory.

Never respond to any suspicious email

Install and update your PC’s security software

Make sure that you have installed up-to-date anti-virus software, personal firewall and anti-spyware software into your PC. Reinstall a later version when it has expired.
