At the time I was using Opera, which I always use, set to ID as 
Internet Explorer from a Windows partition on a dual boot
XP/Slack 10.2 laptop

OK, so I didn't reboot and tried again a few minutes later with
the same result. "[blah] Reboot  [blah]"

I tried again  just now and everything went fine

They do refer to "security precautions" _before_ logging on
in one of their blurbs on how they protect privacy etc.
and I did get the message immediately on bringing up the 
ScotiaBank site via a bookmark.

It would have been middle of the night EDT when I logged in
and I am on a French ISP, but don't see how that would affect
it since I have had exactly the same setup for over a year now.

The only thing I could think of was that they  might have been 
trying some new security scheme in the night when things were 
relatively quiet.
