I asked Scotiabank about their online security guarantee and got a fairly reasonable response.
I just copy/pasted, my question is at the bottom.

Hello Wayne,
Thank you for writing back.
I apologize for the long wait as I had to escalate your concern to our Fraud Department.
According to our Security/Fraud Department, unless we can prove that a client was complicit in the fraud, they would be covered by our online guarantee regardless of whether they were LINUX users or other.
We also do expect our customers to do their part by following the messages displayed within the Security Centre. Among there are:
i) Scotiabank does not stipulate what Operating System customers have to use
ii) Customers need to carefully select and maintain passwords and access codes
iii) Maintain and install up to date firewall and anti-virus protection software (as a suggested course of action). The partnership with McAfee and Trusteer is not an enforced practice
iv) Trusteer is not offered on Linux (and there are no future plans to offer Trusteer on Linux)
Please also be advised that Trusteer is not a VPN. It is a globally recognized fraud prevention tool used by Financial Institutions around the world, and owned and operated by IBM.
I trust this information is helpful and hope you find our online services satisfactory.
If you require further assistance, please write back or call our Contact Centre.
Representatives are available 24 hours per day within North America at 1-800-472-6842 or from outside North America call collect at (416) 288-3899.
Thank you for choosing Scotiabank. We appreciate your business and look forward to assisting you in the future.

Thank you for your response to my question about your online security guarantee and whether I would be protected while using my computer with a Linux operating system.
Unfortunatly your answer does not help me at all, I am unable to install the Trusteer VPN as it only runs on Windows and Mac computers.
Thank you and have a great day, Wayne.
