Trusteer's Rapport Software

Bank of Montreal online banking has a pop-up window offering me a free download of Rapport which it says will protect me from online fraud and identity theft. I don't like to download any applications on my imac unless I know it is not going to cause me issues later.
Please advise.
Thanks

Sweet-pea:


Thanks for this suggestion! I've been trying to get the files off my computer for days now, but when I try to empty my trash, it just says the files are in use! Re-downloaded the software via the useful TrusteerSupport guy upthread, and used the uninstall option.


Files = GONE.


¡Muchas gracias¡, I couldn't be gladder to be rid of that piece of crap software.

It happened to me big time this AM. I couldn't open Safari or Firefox. Firefox repeatedly told me that it had crashed and wanted to restart. Try as I did, it would not. When I tried to open Safari, it wouldn't, but it did blame its problem on Trusteer.


I restarted the machine and the first thing that popped up after the restart was a request from Trusteer to install an update. I did and then Firefox did open. I didn't have time to stick around to see if the fix worked with Safari.

Hmm, at the suggestion of my new bank, Santanter, I just installed the Rapport Software on my OS X 10.7 system....


After restarting the Firefox Browser, it seems to be working OK, so far; "knock on wood" for luck! ;-)


It did have a small wobbly with my 1Password software, but I told it that it was OK, and they both, along with the Firefox Browser, seem to be cooperatively working now...


I'll post if I encounter problems.


FireFox: 10.0.1

1Password: 3.8.15

Rapport: 3.6.1108.67


One thing though: it appears that the Rapport Preferences Pane is a 32bit guy, so that when you want to do anything with it, System Preferences has to restart into 32 bit mode (or so that seems to be waht it is doing to me anywyas). But then it all seems to work, and System Preferences comes back to 64 bit mode after you quite and restart it a further time... (kinda annoying, but not too bad...)

I managed to finally remove that junk programme.


I did it using the free ap Easyfind - I scanned the mac and found a whole mass of files related to rapport/trusteer. I couldn't bin many of these files but if in Easyfind you choose to find the folder where each offending file is stored you can then drag them off to the trash for permanent deletion.


Got rid of the files from rapport this way. Ran a few checks with Easyfind & the machine is all clear.

Rapport Peeps:


I give you a lot of credit for coming in here to post this. However, the problem is not solved.

Here's a post from Sugith Varughese three days ago:

Re: Since updating to OS X ML/Safari 6, cannot access websites

Rapport is wrong.

I checked, again, just now, using Rapport to see if I have the latest version. Rapport says I do.

That's the version that is INCOMPATIBLE with Safari 6.

Stopping Rapport was the only way to get Safari 6 to work correctly.
