Special Forums Cybersecurity Dedicate browser for secure online banking? Post 302549252 by pludi on Monday 22nd of August 2011 11:07:05 AM

If you want to be absolutely sure that your browser isn't tainted, create a VM for online banking, and disallow any interaction with the host system (shared folders, shared clipboard, ...). Make a known good snapshot of that VM, and restore to that snapshot every time you close it.

But really, there's probably a bigger chance of a well hidden trojan/root kit, or excellently crafted phishing attack, especially if the bank uses SSL. If it doesn't, change banks.
