Abstract: A personal computer which is specifically designed to provide increased security for financial transactions handled over the Internet. The computer comprises a processor, a memory and a network communication interface configured to communicate with the Internet. The computer may be configured to search and identify sensitive information 501 in the memory and prompt the user 504 whether this information should be deleted 506. This searching may be based upon rules. The computer may further be configured to determine the computer's location when it is used to access the internet, determine whether this location is a known/permitted location, and send an electronic communication in the event that it is not.
