I've read conflicting reports. It's given some people terrible problems and is apparently very difficult to uninstall. My bank keeps flogging it at me but so far I've not accepted it. I've yet to find a meaningful description of what it does, only meaningless marketing techno-babble.
I would say if you have a good firewall installed with a good anti keylogger etc you shouldn't need it. There are a lot of reports of it causing problems for some people. I've so far resisted my banks attempts at pushing this. They don't make it mandatory.

Do people still put on third party firewalls?
I had the Zonealarm one when I had XP, but haven't had one since.
And I wouldn't have a clue about an anti-keylogger?
I only have the Rapport software on one PC. I tried it without and I tried it with, and I can't tell any difference in performance etc.
Having said that, I haven't tried to uninstall it, and I'm not sure exactly what it does.

ETA: I see there's another thread now.
Obviously they do......Comodo has an anti key logger.....
I used Trusteer Rapport for a long time without any problems at all. It appeared to work exactly as intended in protecting my banking sessions. It was only when I discovered that it was regularly sending large chunks of data from my PC to their servers that I decided to uninstall it. I asked them what data is was uploading but never got a satisfactory response.
I now use SpyShelter Personal Free to detect any bad software behaviour on my PC, including keyloggers.
All now pointless nonsense in view of the news that our thick idiot governments have broken the encryption allowing criminals to get through the back doors that have been created.

Been like that for a while now. Makes even more of a nonsense of the 'If you have nothing to hide......' argument....:D
If there is still anyone out there that thinks Trusteer is any good....Watch this...Trusteer Report
My god that's difficult to listen to. Could they not have got a better speaker? :rolleyes:
And he says he's going to use a scientific approach to rubbish Trusteer Rapport? Just shows he hasn't got a clue what a scientific approach is.
But.... if it doesn't do any good, then I may as well uninstall it.
I've finally got rid of it because it slows down my computer.
Same here, and a real pain to uninstall properly too (leaves behind stubborn files and folders in various locations even when you think you've uninstalled it).
Like others have said, a good up-to-date anti virus and 3rd party firewall with HIPS (Avast and Comodo in my case) should be sufficient. Instead of Trusteer Rapport I now also use the well reviewed Hitman Pro Alert: http://www.surfright.nl/en/alert
I have. It running on the basis that if anything goes wrong, the bank can not say it was my own fault! Can't say it makes any difference to how the computer runs.
I have anti virus, a firewall, I don't partake in believing phising emails, I know it won't ask me for my full details, and I check the Https in the adddress bar.
I don't see what else the program can add apart from slowing down my system.

I've never had any problems with it. It's just a browser add-on that gives an added layer of security.
An article about it here.

Googling that error code, most people just suggest you uninstall and try again.
Not sure what it means

I'm sure I read this the other day but can't find the article.
Not that this answers the OP's question.
