Browsing Protection to display only negative notifications
The Browsing Protection pop-up notification at the bottom right-hand corner of a browser tab is distracting, especially when it only tells me that the "shopping" website (such as logging into a news website) is highly trusted. Users do not need to be told that stuff is safe. Users need to be told when stuff is not safe.
Allow users to choose the rating level at which the Browsing Protection notification (which, with its smileys, looks like it's aimed at illiterate teenagers instead of people who know how to read) will be displayed.

Hello,
I think it is already done.
At least, described for the latest F-Secure Total app: Online Help:
"clear Show notifications for safe shopping websites"
and
"check Show notifications for suspicious shopping websites"
according to what notifications you want to see. or even if you want to see it at all.
// however, this pop-up is part of Trusted Shopping feature (Shopping Protection). And, likely, should not be shown for news website (or even only after logging into). There is an option to request recategorization via F-Secure SAS, such as: add URL, choose provide more details, "Scam Protection" (as product), "Shopping site URL rate wrongfully or not reviewed" (as problem); or whatever option as problem to explain 'unrelated' shopping rating for non-shopping website.
// I am not sure about smileys (as such) - but it is just the most easiest way to show either all is 'fine' or something is 'bad' for very short timeframe of showing pop-up. in the level of emotions, perhaps. however, I am also feel that this 'design' is not always suitable.
// and, actually, I feel that telling website / stuff is safe or trusted in the context of "Shopping Protection / Trusted Shopping" feature is quite okay for some people. I mean, they can find it useful or cheerful for them.
