F-secure can´t be started

sellosa

Hello,

I get a message ,when running Computer Safety, saying " the program can´t be started. Reboot and try again" I have done so but the same happens again. Accually I have tried several times.

Up till now the program has worked excellent.

What to do ?

Best regards

I assume you mean Computer Security and not Safety. I think you should first try a re-install:

 

• If you have F-Secure SAFE you install from the SAFE Portal.
• If you have a standard retail version you can install from: http://www.f-secure.com/en/web/home_global/support/installers
• If you have an ISP(broadband supplier) version you need to get the installer from them.

Hi, pied & sellosa!

 

Sorry to hear that you have experienced issues with F-secure.

 

Have you tried the solutions in the above post from NikK?

If so, how did it go?

Does the problem still occur?

However my licence includes the program for 3 PC's, whwn I try to install it on my wife`s PC, which at the moment run a test version of Avast Internet Security unning of in week, the program downloads but then there is a message the installation didn´t install. I have tried severeal timed howver no success. I havew not uninstalled the Avast program yet. What to do ? / Lars-Olof (sellosa)

Hi, sellosa!

 

Make sure that Avast is uninstalled from the computer before you try to install F-secure on it because it can create conflicts between the programs and  can even makeso that you cant install F-secure.

 

Thanks!

1. Sometimes a normal remove isn't enough. Follow the instructions in this thread to download and run the specific Avast uninstaller:

http://community.f-secure.com/t5/Security/Removing-other-Antivirus/td-p/33593

 

2. Verify that all Windows Updates are installed

 

Then reboot and try installing F-Secure again.

Hi,

I have done what you recommend, but still the program doesn´t install. 

What to do next ?

Then please provide the following information so we may help you better:

 

• When in the installation process does the message appear
• What exactly does the message say
• What OS and version is the PC running, including Service Pack version (SP). Example: Windows 7, SP 1
• Are there any other security products installed

Simon

In addition to NikK's advice, another thing to try would be to run the F-Secure Uninstallation Tool - that is, assuming you have no other anti-virus software on the machine.  Although F-Secure didn't install, it may still have left part of the installation on the machine - the uninstallation tool will enable you to start again with a completely fresh installation.

Hello,

 

Please try our uninstallation tool that Simon recommended.

 

If the issue persist. Then we would need a diagnostic file from you to look deeper into the issue.

 

If the installation fail after you enter your subsciptions key. Then F-secures launch pad is installed.

Windows start -> All program -> F-secure -> Support tool -> start -> after a while you will have a FSDIAG saved on your desktop.

 

If the installation fail before you can enter your subscription key. Then you need to download this program from our FTP:

ftp://ftp.f-secure.com/support/tools/fsdiag/

 

Press on the "fsdiag.zip" och extract the ziped file. In foulder you will find a "fsdiag.exe" or "fsdiag - Program". Run that one and you will start the tool. After some minutes you will have a FSDIAG saved on your desktop.

 

Create a case on this page:

http://www.f-secure.com/en/web/home_global/support/contact/request

 

There you can attach the diagnostic fil into our support. When its done, you'll get a mail with a case number. Please attach it in here so we can check the diagnostic file
