First of all, it is only usable on computers which even boot CD's from the BIOS. If the CD boot option is disabled, it's not much use.
IMHO that option has been enabled by default for years now. If it isn't on your older PC, somebody at the bank's helpline will surely be able to walk you through the process of enabling it.
Even worse is when add/spyware gets between the boot process on such a PC. The PC boots the harddisk, the spyware detects the Knoppix Banking CD, then it puts itself in memory and boots the CD.
Suuure. Do you have any idea how much work it would be to implement that? Surely out of the scope of any trojan/spyware. Much easier ways of stealing someone's bank infos.
