The update to .NET 6.0 didn't go as smoothly as expected. There are currently 3 known issues that we are working to solve as soon as possible.
- Launching some tools marked with shield in user interfaces does not work
- 64-bit UI binaries are not signed and show yellow warning in UAC elevation
- 32-bit UI binaries go missing in update, 32-bit product has no UI. The user is still protected, since the core of the product works.

If you are seeing a green rectangle at the top-right corner in Microsoft Edge, then it's caused by F-Secure Browsing Protection extension. The information is debug information for internal testing and was accidentally released to beta. We have already fixed this but Edge review process takes up to a week, as soon as the fixed extension is approved and released by Microsoft the rectangle goes away.
Until that, if it's interfering too much, you can disable our Browsing Protection extension from Edge or use other browsers. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Hello,
Sorry to bother you. I come with three points to ask.
First one.
About Edge's rectangle (for some reason I called it a table..)
by the way, is this the reason why I can't see the extension in Microsoft Edge store /microsoftedge.microsoft.com/ ? I mean, two of the three available options are available on their pages. And the one that is installed and that is copied from the Settings page (in fs protection UI) is not available there.
I just haven’t tried to remove the extension and try to configure it again, but I suspect that this will be impossible at the moment.
// and, also, I like this debug information. at least, I realized that locally whitelisted (and blacklisted) resources are completely disconnected from Security Cloud checks as I think now.
Second one. How to properly use the ability to recategorize using an extension? Before beta 4 - 'used' category was listed. Now, entire list of categories are unchecked. So, let’s say if you need to propose removing the category “Alcohol and...” or “Dating” for a specific website that was so categorized. And considering that now the entire list is in an unchecked state (before beta 4 - the “used” category was ticked). Should I, say, just “submit” an empty list with no category selected (if there is no “matching” one in it)?
Third one.
You can see rating of various shopping sites in the search results when you hover mouse over the rating icons, and when you enter a shopping site you see a prompt telling you how trustworthy that website is. You can also see the rating in the browser extension menu.
I do see 'shopping' generic logo for shopping sites in the search results when I hover mouse over the rating logos. But should I see something else? I mean, what there means by "rating"?
I do able to meet a couple of prompts. And I can see logo and rating (smiles/wording) in the browser extension menu. However, (did not try to much yet) I managed to see rating for any page only for one shopping site.
Two others with the view like - only 'main domain' (www.shopping.shop for example) with rating. But any subpage/part of resource will not trigger a prompt or rating via extension menu. In addition, for one of them, sometimes there is a rating - sometimes there is not. And another is not about rating in the extension's menu or even it will say that website is no analyzed yet.
One point to mention: since I do use Content Filtering (shopping-category is included), so I have to whitelist website to see 'a prompt/pop-up'. Maybe this flow is a reason for other unclear effects. But only partially.
Thanks! And sorry for my English.
