http://voices.washingtonpost.com/securi ... _urge.htmlthe group recommends that commercial banking customers "carry out all online banking activity from a standalone, hardened, and locked-down computer from which e-mail and Web browsing is not possible." Such a system might be a virgin install of Windows with all the proper updates, using something like Microsoft steady state. Even smarter would be a Mac, or some flavor of Linux, or even a Live CD distribution of Linux (after shutdown, all changes are erased).
Now if you were to use Windows I'd even want it on it's own virtual network protected from other Windows machines. I DO NOT use my Windows PC at work for anything having to do with my money even though I have admin rights and keep it pretty clean. Anyone at my corporation can login into any PC and surf to the wrong site if they didn't manually install something. And no Windows system is secure as even the best security software is behind the curve.
