Users of Barclays’ online bank service are to be given free security software, after the company signed a two-year deal with security vendor Kaspersky.
Customers who sign up for Barclays’ online banking service will be offered a two-year licence of Kaspersky Internet Security software free of charge, to protect against internet fraud and online identity theft. The software normally retails for £49.99 per year.

Barclays customers will be able to download the product - which includes anti-virus software as well as spyware, adware, firewalls, parental controls and spam filters - from the bank’s web banking site. Barclays will also allow customers to download the software on up to three personal computers for each licence so that customers can protect all the computers in the same household.
