Does anyone know what those bank plugins are supposed to do anyway? I never managed to get a good answer for that.

I know some of them can be pretty aggressive, going as far as installing a "root kit" on the machine. At some point one of these plugins conflicted with a Windows 7 update, and caused the affected machines to crash at boot: http://gizmodo.uol.com.br/bug-windows-7-solucao-e-causa/

Check for viruses, Trojan horses, rootkits, updates &c. Useless actually.
