    checked scotiaonline.scotiabank.com (the bank's Canadian site pointed
    took me to the .com site)and the secure page for logging in was loaded
    without any problems! And I have an unstable box.

    Which browser are you using? The scotiabank website says IE 5.5 SP2 or
    higher, Netscape Comm 7.0x or higher and Safari 1.2. All need 128-bit
    encryption. So Mozilla or Firefox should work atleast! But I don't know
    why don't banks upgrade to a 256-bit encryption when that is available
    for secure communication these days.
