Run it myself and not had any issues with it.

It runs as a service and browser plugin and kicks in when you visit a partner website to prevent malware taking screenshots of the screen with your banking sign on details or account numbers on.

Have a read of this, myself I think its not worth using, it has caused some people issues and has also been known to be a git to uninstall. A decent AV and on demand scanner should be enough. http://blackphi-ramblings.blogspot.co.uk/2011/10/trusteer-rapport-problems.html

One of their updates last year, caused all the PC's at work with it installed to black screen (just a blank display), remove it and they worked fine again.

Were they running Vista by any chance?

XP, Mitch.

I don't think it gets on with Sophos all that well as I know things went a bit awry when I installed it at work but as I say no issue at home but the only add-ons I have installed are Java, Flash and Shockwave and the Netcraft toolbar which shows me who owns the IP of the server hosting the page I am currently viewing.

It caused me nothing but grief, I binned it and told the bank why.

Has anyone tried Immunet? It seems quite efficient and quiet.

Not me, Alf.

thanks all some good pointers there.

Think I may give it a miss although my son has it with no bother on Win7.

may be its just one of those niggily bits of software thats ok for some and not for others

In a Windows box, highly likely, Baz.
