Don't install it. I think it's legitimate software, but it caused trouble on a friends pc - slowness and the 3G modem didn't want to work anymore. After uninstalling it everything was working again.

Of course it is. It is called trustee. If we can't trust software called trustee then there is no reason to live anymore.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Java is also "legitimate software".

Don't install anything you don't need.

Yep, sounds like a horrible idea.

I think NatWest want me to install that too.

My bank wanted the same c**p installed. It is a nasty piece of junk, it slows down everything. I uninstalled it and now my browser is back to normal.

My bank used to insist it was installed, and it gave me no problems. Except when Chrome updated itself, at which point the bank web site threw a hissy fit because it wasn't properly installed and wouldn't update.
Although it never gave me any problems, it never did anything to spot "dodgy" sites so it's possible it was just sitting there twiddling it's electronic thumbs...

What they really mean is; We already have most of your personal information and we would like to get the rest including the ability to track your movements on the web so we can sell your information to marketing people or the highest bidder. But instead of saying we sold it we just tell you we got hacked and the information was taken from us so you'll feel better and we're off the hook.

Maybe, it's just hard not to look for alterior motives from these people when the bottom line is money.

It's also another way for them to determine the suckers.

Although it's not certain who came up with the phrase "There's a sucker born every minute"[^] the internet has proven this is a gross under estimation.

Don't install it even if they require it. Threaten to switch to a different bank.

So far I had never heard about it.
I don't think I would install it. I am not really sure that it would "help" so much

Common sense helps as well for that

Not sure if they can really do that, at least not at the level they try to sell

I have this installed, doesn't seem to slow anything down, doesn't seem to do anything else either!

My bank always get me to try and do the same thing, with the same piece of crapware, every time I log in - I have so far succeeded at cancelling the software. Having said that I did install it once and 30 minutes later removed it after it screwed with most things on my machine.
I know many non IT savvy people have their machines riddled with malware of one type or another, but it is rather annoying to have to cancel the dialog box and click on the login button each time I want to see my balance.
