Protection malfunction

FSecure Safe wont let me run a scan. 

Under "Antivirus" it now states "Your computer is not protected" "Protection malfunction. Restart your computer"

I tried re-starting the computer but problem won't go away.

    Hello,

     

    Maybe it is good to know:

     

    ->> does it fresh/clean installation of F-Secure solution?

    Or F-Secure solution was installed some time already and works?

     

    ->> if second option: does there any changes with system before such 'protection trouble'?

    if first option: does there any other potential security solutions?

     

    ->> does it possible to re-check what is listed under "F-Secure Updates":

    -- rightclick F-Secure Tray-picture -- "Open common settings" under menu -- check "List of updates".

    All of them are listed as installed?

     

    Thanks!

    Its an old installation, maybe 2 years. Its been working fine until now.

     

    Fully up to date with installed updates.

    I went for the uninstall and re-install option. 

     

    This worked well and all is ok now. But of course it used one of my spare licences.

     

    I still have a couple left, so not the end of the world.

     

    Thanks for replying. very helpful

    Hello,

     

    In general, it should be possible to login into your My F-Secure Account and release unused licence (stuck-device - if it is possible to identify such a device). By 'choose' device-installation and choose 'release licence'.

    But even if it will be with stuck-status -> when all licences 'in use' - next try to install F-Secure SAFE should ask for release licences (and re-use them only for active installations).

     

    Thanks!
