(European)

4. If you are worried about Online banking, I suggest you use a Sandboxed browser and a virtual keyboard.
You could also use an anti-keylogger like

5. Clear your browser cookies and contact form data. In Firefox> History> Clear History. You could use Ccleaner to clear the cookies after you are done browsing.

All the products I have mentioned are free, (except for Norton and Kaspersky). The Blue text are linked to the software's homepage
