Virus Protection, Firewalls and Malicious Software. You are obligated to take security precautions to protect your computer and Mobile Device. There are a number of means and mechanisms by which other persons may obtain information from your computer/Mobile Device or deceive you or other Users in order to gain control of any computer/Mobile Device used to access your Accounts through Digital Banking. These unauthorized persons may obtain such access and/or control when you or other individuals use your computer to, among other things, access information on removable or network storage, and/or use the Internet for purposes of sending and receiving emails, browsing various websites, and conducting searches.

We encourage you to routinely scan your hardware and software using reliable and current virus, firewall and Malware protection products of your choice to protect from, detect and remove any viruses and Malware found. We further encourage you to exercise caution when using your computers or Mobile Devices for activities unrelated to accessing Digital Banking. A virus on your computer or Mobile Device that goes undetected or unrepaired may corrupt and destroy your programs, files and even your hardware and may result in unauthorized transactions from your Accounts.
