Folks, Fearing to tread into the Windows waters but to save money I must.
I use an online broker, they will pay the exchange fees if you VERIFY with them each month that you are still an active client. Fine. BUT it's only through a WINDOWS computer. I have fought with them for a week and they won't budge, however they say they are "looking" into supporting the Mac. The fees can be very heavy, around $76.00 per month for either the three or four futures exchanges and then a paltry amount for the equity exchanges. So, I guess I'll use Boot Camp on one of the Mac's to log into the account for verification each month, I'll purchase Windows 7 and have them help me set up the link. UHG. My fear, I will be hacked while online for those few minutes each month. I know NOTHING about the Windows world, what in the world can I do to keep myself safe? I have used Boot Camp before, booted into Windows but each time I would remove the Mac from the outside world before booting into Windows, then when back I would go back online. Now I HAVE to be online to make the verification. What do I need to purchase, load, turn on, turn off, etc. to give myself protection? I won't load anything but Internet Explorer (or if you suggest another browser), maybe even Safari for Windows? I appreciate suggestions, I feel like I am going Alligator hunting where I am the hunted.
