The first question to ask, is does this product exist for Linux? According to the datasheet, it is available for Windows and Mac, no mention of Linux. If not, the point is moot. According to the reviews, the recommendation seems to be that if you are really paranoid about it, use a Live CD to perform your banking instead.

Personally, I wouldn't want any 3rd party security software installed on my PCs that is designed to allow the bank to "verify the integrity of my system", or anything else which appears to be what this software does.
