i have a question about the security of buying things online

(1/3) > >>

if i have two operating systems in my PC in different partitions in the same HD, Windows and Ubuntu, and the Windows have a spyware in, and i buy things only in Ubuntu, can the spyware catch my bank card informations in the Ubuntu?

Meso:
Probably yes, cause basically they are part of the same HD, so first of all you should clean both partitions for be safe, then scan all partitions using an antivirus and check if there are spyware or even other virus.
Once you done all this things, your PC should be clean.

Honestly instead of wasting money buying a new laptop, and spend 300$ or even more, you should clean your main PC and use it, cause basically spyware can infect even your new one....So in my opinion you'd better clean this PC instead of buying a new one.
There are two options:
• Pay someone to do it
• Do it by yourself, it's not so hard, i've done same thing years ago cause my PC was full of virus and spyware, fortunately none of my data has been stolen or other
Here is a link that could be helpful.
I hope to have been a help to you, cya.
