Title: Kaspersky Lab - Safe Money browser mode
Post by: Stephen Gornick on October 03, 2012, 03:01:37 AM
I was reading about Kaspersky Lab's Safe Money mode feature in its Kaspersky Internet Security product.

Apparently it will see that you are trying to access a financial website (one that it knows about or one that you've marked as being a financial site) and prods you to launch a different, secure mode browser instance.

I run Linux and Kaspersky doesn't sell a version for Linux but it does support Windows, Mac and Android (phone and tablet) even.

Has anyone used this?  Because not all Bitcoin sites offer two-factor authentication yet (or don't implement it following the ideal method), might this be a useful piece of software for Bitcoin users?
