  • "Spyware"may be watching you
 

We strongly advise you to exercise caution when using any third party software, which claims to speed up your internet connections.

Such software or services may redirect your internet session through their own server, which give them the ability to store and analyse your internet activities. This may include activities conducted during your secure sessions with DBS or any other secure internet service and even information such as your usernames, passwords, credit card numbers, bank and purchase transactions.

What you can do to protect yourself

  • Do NOT visit the DBS website while any software that monitors or redirects your internet session is present on your computer.
  • If you install any software that claims to speed up your internet connection, or have additional third party toolbars on your browsers, you may be using software that has the ability to track your internet sessions. We recommend that you uninstall such software
  • You can usually safely uninstall such software by going to your Control Panel, selecting Add/Remove Programs, then finding the named application and selecting Remove.
  • Educate yourself on "Spyware". Be alert to any Spyware-like activities on your computer. Be suspicious if you get lots of pop-up banners or unsolicited e-mails that appear to "know you too well".
  • Securely configure your computer, install and run anti-virus software, anti-spyware software and personal firewall software from reputable software company to protect your computer from viruses and malicious programs. You should also install the latest software and update such software with latest security patches, and apply security patches on a regular basis.
  • Do not use public/shared computers or devices which cannot be trusted to get access to DBS ec-banking as it is difficult to ensure such PCs are free from hacker programs, or any software that monitors or redirects your internet session.

What we are doing to protect your interests

  • We will actively block traffic to dbs.com that has passed through redirector/Spyware services.
  • If you have, at any time, been denied access to our website, you may be either intentionally or inadvertently running redirector/Spyware software on your computer. In such cases, we urge you to uninstall such software.
