Category - AntivirusF-Secure Reviews and Product Details
F-Secure strives to provide a simple and effective antivirus solution that protects users from malware. To achieve this, F-Secure has a comprehensive feature suite. Some notable examples include:
- Banking Protection: Secures the network connection and automatically blocks unsafe apps and websites. This prevents hackers from hijacking your banking session.
- Browsing Protection: Uses colour-coded search results to warn you about suspicious web pages before you click them.
- Gaming Mode: Frees up system resources while maintaining high protection levels. Malware will be blocked without interrupting your gaming session.
- Family Rules: Keeps children safe through various parental controls like screen time management and content filtering.
Additional features include a VPN, password manager, and online identity monitoring.
F-Secure has two antivirus solutions: Internet Security and Total. Internet Security comes with essential antivirus features, while Total includes additional tools (VPN, password manager etc.). Both solutions have plans that are priced according to the number of devices. F-Secure occasionally offers discounts for new users. For example, Internet Security for one device has a 25% discount for the first subscription year. After that, the plan reverts to its normal price. A 30-day free trial is offered, and certain F-Secure tools are available for free (e.g., F-Secure Online Scanner).

F-Secure reviews
F-Secure has a well-designed interface, making it easy to navigate through. It is also easy to use; no learning curve is required. System scans are done quickly but thoroughly. The detection software is also frequently updated to ensure its accuracy and efficacy.
The main downside to F-Secure is that it is missing some essential features: firewall file backup, file shredder, and protection score. Having these features would make F-Secure more effective in fighting malware.
