        * Take an old PC, format it with Linux (xubuntu, Mint, Debian, whatever works for you), keep it on the side only for banking.

        * Keep a VM running Linux just for banking.

    don't think it will work

    Won't vegan think that BeEf has every right to live as the rest of us?

    And cookies?? If they are not gluten, butter and milk free then they won't touch them!

      This tool doesn't stop BeEF, it merely turns up its nose and objects loudly that there is BeEF near it. - Vegan is the perfect name.

    It all sounds rather fishy to me.

    That's all.
