Q: Can I use my system for online banking if it had a virus and the virus was removed?

A: There are a lot of great anti-virus and anti-malware packages out there that do a fine job of stopping viruses from coming in and removing them from your system if one sneaks past. No technology is 100% effective, however. Even after removal, remnants of the malware may still exist on your system. If a significant portion of the malware is still resident in the computer, then it is possible for the malware to pull down updates and reinfect the machine. While the situation may be rare, there will always be a risk of reinfection after malware removal. As is true with anything in life, there is going to be risk associated with using a PC for any financial transactions after removing resident malware.

Here is yet another reason to keep good, local backups of your system: If you want to be completely certain that there is no remnants of malware on the system, you have to restore the machine from a recent, uninfected, complete system backup. Online backups rarely provide coverage over all of the operating system components, which are likely to contain the malware components. As Sigourney Weaver said in "Aliens", you need to "take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."
