f secure icon has a red x on it

smarshall

i went to the support page and it says to look at the trustee rapport, which i dont have.  It also says that if you don't have that to send in a service request.  Any ideas on what needs to be done.  I cannot update virus files, malware wont launch, full scann wont launch, 3rd part malware wont launch - are these all causes of what f secure has not addressed with me yet ?

Hi,

 

Matthias has a point you need to hover over the red cross and look what it is complaining about.

 

If you think somethink is wronk contact F-Secure support either via Chat or e-mail

Doesnt expire until 2012.

 

When I hover over it - first time it said virus and malware - malfunction.  After following some advice from Rapport and f secure customer service - it now says nothing.

 

I tried the online tools - and it comes up - unexpected error.

 

There is something that is stopping me from trying to discover the virus as it wont let any of the programs do a scan for it.

 

Advice ?

Hi smarshall,

Please try to scan your computer with EasyClean and see how it goes?

Best Regards,

If you suspect a virus on the machine on option is to use rescue CD.

 

It boots a Linux and therefore can completly scan your drive.
