Hi, so basically there has been fraudulent activity on my bank account, it's sorted for now but I don't want it to happen again. The guy at the bank said they got my card details from either a skimmer or intercepted Internet traffic when I've used my card online. 

 

At the moment I use a free AnitI virus/ mal ware program and no VPN.

 

To stop this happening again, if they got it from the Internet, should I use a VPN when using my card online or get a good paid security program or both.

 

Thanks in advance!

Was it on your home network? What operating system are you using?

 

You could use a VPN, there are free ones out there. However, no one should really have to use a VPN - although they are good. They are not necessary.

 

I use no anti-virus or protection. I am just cautious about what I go on.

Two TOP free antiviruses : Avira, Panda

Use Comodo free firewall and Malwarebytes too.

I think what you looking for is called internet security there are lodes of good products out there. Just avoid Norton and McAfee.

OK I've got kaspersky but will this help stop my bank details from being stolen online, is there extra encryption or somthing when I make a payment using my bank card online?

 

I know it's probably a dumb question I just don't want anyone else getting my bank details. 

 

Thanks

If you activate Safe Money, it'll open a new webpage with additional encryption. It'll help on those ventures on-line... not so much at your local grocery.
