F-Secure Internet Security

Virenscanner

F-Secure Internet Security reliably protects your PC from Viruses, Worms, Spyware and other threats. In addition, your computer is protected from unknown and future threats through new DeepGuard Technology. The recognition rate of viruses and other intrusions is high. Only in the area of web exploits identification could the recognition rate be better.

The drawback is the low scanning speed. In addition, the user-friendliness could be improved, so that novices could find their way around easier. Creating difficulty in using the software is the minimal user interface and the too sparse help manual and logs.

Advantages

  • Good recognition rate of viruses and other intrusions
  • Few false alarms
  • Good reaction time to new threats
  • Large number of options for child security

Disadvantages

  • Scanning speed could be improved
  • User interface is a bit unclear

Summary:

Internet security works satisfactory. Just the speed could be better. User friendliness could also be improved. However, if that does not scare you away then you are getting good protection from internet threats.

The greatest cost for very good security with F-Secure is paid in CPU power usage. We didn’t particularly like the user interface and an up-to-date wizard is missing.

Requires high resources, very good firewall, slow in reaction to virus intrusion.

I have been utilizing F-Secure since version 2006. Its speed in version 2010, running on Windows 7 (64bit), has noticeable increased. You can hardly tell the scanning process is running.
This receives a high recommendation from me, especially since I already used other anti-viruses software as well.

I have been using F-Secure for many years. This software works very well. It is relatively light and offers free A1 support.
