Well it is true that i have done some e-shopping and entered credit
card data on amazon but keeping banking data or any such sensitive
information is like you are looking to commit suicide . The best scenario
is to keep such type of information as far away from computers as possible ,
since u never know what is going to happen.

Well trust me , even under windows all u need is a good antivirus and 
you can do
whatever u wish , i have given it a few shots myself . It´s like walking 
on the street
it is risky ( cars have run over a bus station here ) but u still do it 
. There are a few
things that u do although there is a risk in them .
