Spyware Countermeasures
Integration of Latest Antivirus Software
Antivirus software needs to be integrated into your PC (or smartphone, etc.) in order to prevent virus infection and remove viruses.
Antivirus software can also refer to any software used to prevent, detect and remove all malware and malware threats. Generally, antivirus software is always enabled when the computer power is turned on. It helps prevent the PC from being infected by viruses that originate from the Internet, LAN connections or floppy disks, etc., by constantly monitoring external data that it receives.
In addition, the software checks to ensure that viruses are not contained in the data when also sending emails, etc., externally. It also is equipped with functions to remove viruses from the PC in the event that the computer is infected with a virus.
However, antivirus software may be unable to detect new viruses because its system uses virus detection data that only supports viruses that have been identified up to the present. As a result, the software must always update its virus detection database with the latest information.

Preventing Unauthorized Use
Change Your Pin, etc. Regularly
The customer himself or herself is able to change the logon ID, logon password which are used in Seven Bank's Direct Banking Service, and cash card PIN.

Dispose Unnecessary Cash Cards
■Customers Must Dispose Their Own Cash Cards
If an account is terminated or a new card is reissued, etc., cash cards that are no longer needed should be destroyed and disposed by the customer himself or herself. (A separate procedure is required for terminating an account. Please take a moment to contact the Contact Center.)
■Use Scissors for the IC Chip Part
Always use scissors to cut the IC chip part when destroying and disposing of your cash card. The card can no longer be used.
■Dispose Rendering the Text Part Illegible
When disposing of your cash card, we recommend shredding it so that the part with the bank code, branch number and account number as well as the part with your customer ID and confirmation number (on the back of the card) are illegible.
