Hey,
Although I don't like it, the bank i work with only offers Internet
Banking that works only under Internet Explorer. So, unfortunately, if I
want to check out my account I see myself obliged to boot Windows :(. I
know that IE can be installed through wine but no one seems to guaranty
safety...
What do you mean by "no one guarantees safety"? No one can *ever*
guarantee the perfect safety of *any* software, especially complex
software like Firefox.
Would IE installed on my Debian be less safe than the one
running in it's native environment? If yes, why would that be so?
Try the User Agent Switcher addon to make Iceweasel pretend that
it's IE6. It might not work (especially if the Bank uses an ActiveX
extension), but it's worth a try.
If that doesn't work, try IE6 under Wine. Or change banks, if possible.
