A few months ago, there was an article about the UK banking association bringing in new rules making customers fully responsible for any usage of their on-line accounts. If my aging mind is working properly, the banks wouldn't back anyone that didn't have the latest anti-virus and anti-spyware software on their computers.
According to the account found at http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/04/17/uk_phishing_trends/ these rules have been in effect since 2005. It also states that historically banks have not used these rights to absolve themselves from responsibility.
What what would be interesting would be an official (or even unofficial) suggestion from a bank or high bank official that users should, if possible, use Linux or another non-Microsoft system when dealing financially over the web in preference to Microsoft. But I’ve not seen such an announcement.
