There are going to be risks no matter what security products a bank provides to its customers. After a year and a half working as a malware analyst, I know well that a "Clean" Virus Scan will provide customers with nothing but a false sense of security.
Sober for instance has currently has 20+ variants that are known. You can bet there are plenty of malware variants in the wild that have no signatures.
What the banks need to do is provide their customers with adequate computer security and let the customer decide which products are best for them.
