Coventry Building Society – Security - Protecting your computer

You must protect your computer from any unwanted access. Unwanted access could mean a program that has been loaded onto your computer without your permission, for example a virus downloaded to your computer from an email.

As a minimum we recommend:

Keep your computer software including your browser and operating system up-to-date by installing any security patches or upgrades your supplier recommends. You may find the following links useful:

Install anti-virus and anti-spyware software on your computer. You should also install a personal firewall. There are many packages available, but whichever you choose it is important that you keep it up-to-date. We can't recommend or approve any specific software.
