It seems to me that there are a few simple ways to defeat this exploit that should have been included in the article.
First, never enter your debit card information when you log in to an online banking site.
No bank will ever request this information of you, so seeing it on a
login screen should be a huge red flag. Get a good anti-virus utility,
and scrub away.
If you think you have been infected, there are other ways to get your transaction history.
You can download the PDF copy of your statement from the online banking site, or use Quicken or some other personal finance manager to download transactions via OFX. You can also use telephone banking or an ATM to get a list of recent transactions. All of these methods are not affected by the exploit Trusteer reports.
