Barclays' two million UK online banking customers are to be offered free security software, the firm has announced.
Anti-adware, spyware and viruses shields are to be given to the users for free, following concerns about online accounts being subject to fraud.

Commenting, Sean Gilchrist at Barclays said: "For the last two years we have offered customers free antivirus software but, as internet fraudsters become more sophisticated, it is important that customers protect their computers from all threats and not just viruses."
The anti-fraud devices are to be provided by tech firm Kaspersky.
