Ø      Ensure your computer is equipped with latest antivirus packages and the same is upgraded from time to time.

Ø      Install advanced version of Browsers for Internet Browsing for higher security.

Ø      Change the passwords immediately, if you feel someone knows the same.

Ø      Make it a habit to change the passwords at a regular interval of time  (you will be forced to change the password by the system, if you do not do so after 90 days)

Ø      The recommended browsers are

1.     Internet Explorer Version 5.5 and above

Don’ts:

 

Ø      Leave your computer unattended while you have logged in.

Ø      Write these passwords anywhere.

Ø      Reveal your password to any one including the bank staff since the bank does not require this information. (Even if you receive a mail asking for the password and posing as if it has come from higher offices, neglect it, since it can be dummy mail).

Ø      Use name of your spouse, children etc. as a password, since they are very easy to crack. Further, avoid using important dates  (wedding anniversary, birthdays of you/ spouse/ children etc.) as your password.
