I have been using net banking for about 5 years and I have never faced any problem. On the contrary it has been of great help. But experts maintain that in order to be on the safer side
1. One should use long and complex passwords
2. Use one's own PC and internet connection as far as possible while using net banking
3. One should frequently change passwords.
4. One should keep one's bank documents very secretly.
5. One should not respond to any emails asking for user id and passwords.
6. One should immediately close the browser window after using net banking, if further browsing is required start afresh after reopening the browser.

I totally agree with you! I too have been using net banking fo rso many years now and it is very convenient and hassle free. Banks like HSBC have a very high tech channels of online banking, I use ICICI too. Provided we follow the rules of netbanking as specified by the bank closely, there is no problem at all.
Just one more point I would like to add to Rajesh's list of safety norms is that, never ever use even your own laptop to access your online account in a public wi-fi zone. It is not secure and even while using your own laptop, it is an easy target for hackers.
