Online Banking is a safe way to manage your money but we've taken steps to help protect you even more with free internet security software.

Barclays Online Banking offers you security software from Kaspersky to make sure you're always protected. It's at no cost if you use Online Banking and you can install it on up to 3 computers in your home.

The Kaspersky Internet Security Suite offers anti-virus protection and a personal firewall to help stop viruses and trojans before they get hold of your data. It also includes a spyware scanner, spam filter and parental control to keep your household safe.

It's easy to install by following the links in Online Banking. Find out more about the offer.

We'll never ask you for Online or Telephone Banking security details by email.

You may get emails that look as if they're from Barclays, with our logo and appearing to be addressed from us. Would you know if they were genuine?

Check our scam email guide now to be 100% sure you don't give your details away.
