Internet and PC security provider Prevx said that it is collaborating with Sainsbury’s Finance to offer the bank’s customers free protection from online fraud.

The company said that this partnership will enable Sainsbury’s Finance to shield its customers from the risk of online fraud attacks such as phishing, DNS poisoning, screen grabbing, man-in-the-browser and keystroke logging.

SafeOnline offering also provides Sainsbury’s Finance customers free protection on all websites they choose to protect, including social networks.

Prevx said that its SafeOnline offering ensures user’s personal information, including passwords and payment card details, to be protected at all times across the internet. It instills a sense of personal awareness of security by alerting online customers to threats to their PC.

Mel Morris, CEO of Prevx, said: "There is no reason why the Internet should be synonymous with online fraud – consumers should be able to browse safe in the knowledge that their personal information is still private. This is why we’re delighted to provide Sainsbury’s Finance customers with the technology and most importantly know-how to do just that."
