Barclays is buying every one of its online banking customers anti-virus software in a bid to improve security.

The bank has signed a deal with F-Secure for 1.6 million licences of the Finnish firm's anti-virus program.

The deal also includes two years' worth of updates to ensure the security package keeps customers protected.

At the same time, the bank is bringing in a system that uses text messages to let customers know when money is moved 
using their online account details.
