I even pay some of my bills online, including the one credit card which was compromised by this Antivirus 2009. I don't even receive a paper bill any more from the credit card company, just online statements and paying online. I cancelled the old card # and rec'd the new card today, which I must call in to activate. I'm thinking I should call the credit card company and ask them to start sending me the old fashioned paper bills again, which I'll pay with a paper check! Am I being too paranoid? I should add that this fear of mine is compounded because I actually sent my credit card # to this virus, believing it was a valid Windows program for virus protection. The result is the pending charge from Moscow, Russia on my current credit card bill.

i think you are doing the right thing. i used to use debit cards online, but haven't had a debit card in awhile.
Thanks for this!
