My query: Would it be safer to do online banking using a live CD rather than one's normal OS so that nothing gets written to the HD?

There is a lot more to security of online banking than that, but it's a good start. You will need to describe the circumstnces more though. Is it to be from home, or a public place? Anyone apart from you going to do the banking? Lots more questions, but my brain is saturated with this week.
