Alliance furthers defence

16 April, 2007 - NAB now presents an additional security measure to home-based customers by providing discounted computer security with PC Tools.

PC Tools now offers leading anti-spyware software, Spyware Doctor, to NAB customers at a discount rate. Spyware Doctor complements NAB technology already used to keep internet banking customers secure.

Steve Collier, NAB Direct General Manager, said, "NAB has offered free SMS second factor authentication since 2005 and with more than 250,000 customers now registered this service has been extremely popular."

"The next line of protection is the customers' PC and we wanted to make it easy for them to have the right home-based security."

Rafal Potega, Vice President Sales Asia Pacific at PC Tools, said, "We support NAB as a member of the Australian Consumer Fraud Taskforce and this union can only serve to strengthen NAB customers' understanding of PC protection."

"NAB strategies inform customers of home-based preventative security solutions available to help tackle internet security."

"Valuable and confidential personal information is stored on your PC, and protection should be an essential part of defending your computing habits and privacy."

PC Tools commits to help NAB customers in securing home-based, online activity with cutting edge technology.
