To protect login details for on-line banking and also share trading. It's still recommended software by all the main UK banks and share trading companies and it is updated on a regular basis, even compatible with Windows10.

Since Rapport is a Free download, there will be different download sites for it,so do be careful ticking (or unticking) any of the accompanying boxes to avoid getting any unwanted additional software/add-ons/extensions/tool bars.

eg. ASK Search, Yahoo Search, change of Home Page, change of Default browser - that kind of stuff.

I've never heard of Rapport.

Harry when you say that "It's still recommended software by all the main UK banks and share trading companies and it is updated on a regular basis," Barclays who I use for share trading have never recommended any one to me, Is that because one specifically needs to ask?

Stan,

Try your banks.

I downloaded from a "bank" site using their security.

Use it on various site and Barclays.

Generally appear with a green "icon" before the web site.

Seems OK, used it for "yonks".

E-mail me if you and I will give you more info. if you want it!

Thanks Fred, will have a look later.

For security when doing online banking or infact when using any form or money related platform i use a Avast SecureLine VPN server,this provides military grade encryption while surfing the net.

Gives me some peace of mind,may not be the best but about as good as it gets.

How much does it cost or is it free MB?

I download it from the Coop below Fred but It's only for OS 10.8 and I'm on 10.5.8 so it won't allow me to install it.

Stretch your arms to the bottom of your pocket and buy a PC.

Probably something to do with the Barclays Bank computer problems reported over the weekend.

Windows 10 will automatically download on to Windows 7 or 8 PCs

Company to make Windows 10 a ‘recommended update’ next year, meaning those running updates will have it downloaded and will be prompted to install

Microsoft’s efforts to entice users to upgrade to Windows 10 will soon see it automatically downloaded on to users computers without their knowledge.


The company announced that Windows 10 will become a “recommended update” starting next year, which means anyone with Windows 7 or 8 that has automatic updates activated – the default and the best way to keep a computer protected against security bugs – will have Windows 10 automatically downloaded without asking.

What’s more, the installer for Windows 10 will start once it has been downloading, presenting users with a popup. Users will be able to decline the update, once the installer has started, or prevent the update from being downloaded by manually blocking it in Windows update.

But the propensity of users to simply hit “OK” or accept when faced with a prompt in the middle of doing something else, will likely see users just blindly hit OK and unknowingly installing Windows 10, preventing access to the computer while the instalment completes.

Terry Myerson, executive vice president of Microsoft’s Windows and Devices group said: “If you choose to upgrade (our recommendation!), then you will have 31 days to roll back to your previous Windows version if you don’t love it.”

Is there an easy way to prevent this?

I have no interest in using W10, and the revues seem to think it's the devils brew re privacy.
