Re: FSCSAFEADMIND: Cannot connect to kext with name: FSCNKE, retrying in 1 second(s)
Hi @JACOJO
Looks like something to do with the kernel driver and might need to get through Recovery Mode and run some commands but there would be a need to send your ISP (XS4all) the fisdiag log so we can ascertain the exact root cause. So, I still recommend you contact them highlighting that reinstallation has not solved the problem.
You need to provide them with the log file and the interface screenshot of the your F-Secure Safe by XS4all, they know exactly what to do afterwards.
Re: FS Protection PC 17.8 releases
Hi @Ukko
Gaming mode works so that when it's turned on, no updates (databases or updates, including product updates) are downloaded and any scheduled scan is cancelled. It indirectly prevents installation of updates by not downloading them. If you have had gaming mode enabled for more than 8 hours, the product will download (and install) updates once and then again not download for 8 more hours. If you click "Check for updates" then it will ignore gaming mode and immediately check for updates. Gaming mode also automatically turns itself off if you restart/hibernate/sleep the computer.

Re: Custom OpenVPN connection - Android
Hi @AceMoneus
At present, the customer OpenVPN for Freedome is not possible. For Freedome running on android, you can find the options " Apps bypassing VPN" under Settings where you can exclude the apps that allow selected apps to connect to internet directly.
However, If you are looking for using multiple VPN products at the same time, this article might provide more details for you.

Re: What is fsecureboss.jpg?
Hello,
Sorry for my reply. I am only an F-Secure user (their home solutions).
Modified hosts file (by F-Secure) can be the result of malware cleaning / cure process. For example, after cleaning/removing/quarantine other threats.
that why F-secure is cleaning out all of URL out of the users host's file
I think this is revert back to 'default' state of hosts system file. Perhaps, not all modifications to hosts file will trigger detection (or maybe only during certain circumstances) - but if there is a trigger - perhaps, logic is to prevent 'unknown' tricky changes (that was also there with 'known' tricks).
Maybe, it is possible to contact F-Secure Labs about subject - if content of hosts file is not too secret or whether it is possible to discuss with F-Secure Support about detection for these modifications (or, at first, check locally if 'any' change lead to detection and clean action - maybe certain IP or address is somewhat rated as suspicious).
However, there also should be an ability to exclude(?!) files from real-time scanning. One remark is that 'manual' context scan may be still with detection for modification. I am not sure whether it is possible to exclude hosts file or not, but maybe based on F-Secure solution in use.
Sorry for my opinion.
Thanks!
Re: Why does the F-Secure Safe Browser default to sharing location information with Google?
Hello,
Sorry for my reply. I am only an F-Secure user (their home solutions).
Why is the default setting sharing location information with Google?
Perhaps, F-Secure SAFE browser with utilization default Android browser abilities for this layer / part (that is can be Google powered, for example). However, I am not sure about exact wording and maybe you can to point out what is certain concern there. Since google servers can be something integral. And 'Advanced settings -- Website settings', maybe, is somewhat shared across device browser core (what can be Google Chrome or something else as system browser functionality). In addition, there are F-Secure SAFE privacy terms ( https://www.f-secure.com/en/legal/privacy/consumer/safe ) and list of used SAFE permissions on android ( https://www.f-secure.com/en/legal/permissions/safe-for-android ).
But maybe you could to try reach out their official Support channel (for example, web-chat):
Also, please note that I cannot add any tags to this question. When I try to add the tag PRIVACY, it says No results and will not let me add anything.
What about "tags" - actually, I can not to tag topics too (tried some months before). So, maybe it is platform trouble or browser limitations. What is your browser was during try? And were there some addons or so?
Thanks!
