Web Card
Even better, go with a bank that let you create one off credit card numbers.
I'm with an internet bank in the UK, and they give you a program called webcard, you can access it either through your online account, or install it as a program. When you login to it, you can create a one time use credit card number that is linked to your account, you can set a limit for that card, and it can't be charged more than the limit, or more than once.
I use it to buy online goods all the time, especially from sites that I'm visiting for the first time. At least I know that if I get a virus, no card numbers that can be used again are ever transfered.
Anyway, it's a little off topic I guess, but it might be useful for some people to know wink
