Online banking-specific LiveCD creation
Anyone have, or interested in putting together, a set of instructions for creating a LiveCD suitable for online banking only.

ie. it boots up, automatically checks and installs latest OS patches, AV/firewall patches, browser patches (ie. Firefox + Noscript versions).

Maybe include how to pre-load only allowed websites for your preferred financial institutions so no other website is accessible.

I will try developing one of these to hand out copies to staff, family and friends but a fairly generic one should be usable by 95% of people without modification by just including the 100 most popular banking institutions, at least by country...

Then we "only" need to worry about 0-day exploits, BIOS rootkits, poisoned DNS caches on the router or at the ISP, etc etc etc... :P
