I would like some information.

Is it safe to give my bank logon information to programs like microsoft money, quicken and mvelopes?

• Hi I know that on programs like ms money, quicken and web-based mvelopes, you can add in your bank logon information and the program will get your up to date transactions. Well as most of these programs are now nearly 100% webbased, is it safe to have my bank logon information with companies like mvelopes, quicken and money? Everyone seems to be doing it but no one seems to worry about a third party having your bank logon information. thanks

• Answer:

  If you are concerned about security, don't add the personal information. It's better to be safe than sorry! You should still be able to use the software. P.S. Not only can someone view your personal information while you are logged in, but all this information is then stored on the hard drive on your computer. Once you are ready to buy a new computer, make sure that you delete all the files. This can be done by restoring the drive. The CDs needed for this were given to you when you purchased the computer.
