[QUOTE="JBredene, post: 834609, member: 19964"] A "live CD" is only useful for security if you are going to be using a computer other than your own when travelling for instance. I may be wrong but I suspect that because a finalised cd is "read only" - you won't be able to install extras unless it goes onto a writable harddrive. Being your own computer there is no reason why you shouldn't do a normal disk install which would allow extras. Your normal Windows machine is perfectly safe for IB if you keep it updated and log into your bank's encrypted banking homepage. Most banks add an extra layer of security with one time secure pins sent to your cellphone at login. Make sure that you are the only user of the banking pc and that nobody loads dicey software or connects to it or plugs drives into it ever. (NO games from the kids!!) I've been using my Windows pc for 10+ years for banking without a problem. PS - always check that you are connected to your bank's https// encrypted webpage. Should show the padlock symbol and say "secure". [url=https://postimages.org/][IMG]https://s19.postimg.org/j1f1ceyg3/Secure_login.jpg[/IMG][/url] [/QUOTE]
