Hi Flood. Thanks for your response. The claim that internet banking is now unsafe on Win7 was in the press recently, but unfortunately I can’t find the article. However, I’ve just been through the topic that Berny referred to, and I think the information you’ve given in that thread does answer my question. Seems like it's safe for the time being, but shouldn’t leave it too long before upgrading to Win10, which seems good and proper advice.
