F-Secure is a Finish antivirus company that was established in 1988. The software firm is credited with several firsts in the antivirus community; F-secure discovered the first Windows Vista virus and made foray into accurate rootkit detection. The company’s most recent antivirus offering is F-Secure Internet Security 2010. In the 2010 version, F-Secure has abandoned the Kaspersky engine for the Bitdefender Engine for definition-based detection. F-secure also has added on 4 additional detection engines in addition to the basic definition engine. We will now look at some of the unique features that F-Secure supposedly offers.
Installation:
The installation of F-Secure was very seamless as they really aren’t many options to configure. A user can decide to use the full installation or custom installation option. The later includes the parental controls, which I decided not to configure for this review.
The installer download is very small at only 70 megabytes. This is even more amazing when you consider that one installer includes the antivirus and the internet security programs all in one executable. What’s also nice is how FSecure automatically checks and downloads newer versions or patches within the installer.
Once the installation was completed, F-Secure immediately updated the virus definitions. Surprisingly, unlike most other free antivirus, F-Secure does not alert the user to a full scan not yet preformed, rather a large green check mark was displayed with the words “your computer is protected”. Unfortunately, some users may interpret this message that their computer is already virus free, when in reality; this cannot be the case if a full virus scan has not been completed.
