dimbo

How do I stop f-secure launching automatically  alongside internet explorer/google. Probably just a few clicks here and there but it is beyond my talents.Any help in words of one syllable please.Thankyou.

Double click the F-Secure icon to open Launch Pad.

Go to Online Safety > Settings > Browsing Protection (screenshot below), then click the green button in the top right corner to turn off.

 

 

It would be advisable to leave it on, though.

Also you can mean that point:

If yes - it's mean to know your version of Browser;

But commonly can to help next steps:

  - Need to find settings about "addons" in browser (Internet Explorer - settings - addons);

  - Next need to find here settings about "search engines";

  - And clean it;

-------------------------------------

 

Or visit page about documentation-page about your version of F-Secure; And will try to find information about it;

Now - I look documenation about F-Secure Internet Security 2014;

 

It's have next points (and about another browsers too):
