HELSINKI, Finland, May 26 (UPI) -- F-Secure will be providing customers of Britain's Barclays Bank with anti-virus protection in online banking.
The Finnish computer-security group said that under the two-year agreement, it will be providing Barclay's 1.6 million online-banking customers with virus protection to keep them safe from hackers and viruses.
"Studies show that nearly two-thirds of home PCs don't have active virus protection, and one in five is actually infected by a virus, placing people at risk from data theft as well as damage to their computers. Because of the risks, some people are concerned about the security of online banking, despite banks themselves being secure. F-Secure's anti-virus product will provide our customers with excellent protection, giving them peace of mind when using the Internet and banking online, without annoying them with pop-ups and confusing instructions. The software and service met all our requirements it's straightforward to set up, provides thorough protection that's updated daily and is backed up with an excellent support," said Barnaby Davis, director of electronic banking at Barclays.
