F-Secure screen switching to not protected.

EJB

Switch on PC (Windows 8.1).

F-Secure loads and updates.....all is well. (and updates hourly thereafter)

After a short period of time the F-Secure screen changes to 'Your PC is not protected' (with the red cross)...and says check for updates.

All updates are correct.

The PC was offered an F-Secure upgrade one or two days ago and I accepted....that is the only pertinent activity I can think of.

PC scans are clear.

Before I upgrade 2 other PCs I need to resolve this problem.....Please?

I'm having a not dissimilar issue, except I am being told to reboot. I think a support ticket with an attached FSDIAG is your best route, so that the tech guys can have a proper look at what's going on. Let us know if you need further help with that.

EJB

Yes Please.......have done a fsdiag before but can't now remember how!!

Apologies Simon...the 'Support Tool' link isn't working!

EJB

Found it!!!!!!!!!!

Simon

It used to work. I'll check it later. Thanks for the heads up.

Simon

For future reference, I think you can also get to the support tool from the Start > All Programs menu.

EJB

Sent a request but the fsdiag wasn't saved on the desktop....I know where it is but can't access it.

Have sent the request without the diag file!!

Simon

I think you'll find they'll probably ask for it, otherwise they can't really see what's going on.

EJB

Yes, obviously the diag info is vital but I have run the tool on a second, virtually identical, PC and it has the same result.

The reports are not where they should be....ie:- 'C'/users/Name/appdata/Fs...'number'.tmp.....on both PCs.

Thought they might be 'hidden' but changed both to 'Show hidden files folders' etc.

 

Keep getting the F-Secure 'upgrade' reminders on my two other PCs but will hang on for now! 

 

Simon

Sorry, can't help with that. Not sure what's going on there, but I did one myself last night, and it automatically saved to the Desktop. Not bring funny, but are you sure the tool is completing it's task? Mine often pauses at about 55%, sometimes for several minutes, then it carries on.

Oh, and are you running the tool from a download, or from Start Menu > All Programs?

EJB

I later tried the tool from 'programmes/F-Secure on the PC (Downloaded it from F-Secure prior to this).....and still couldn't find where the file was saved on both PCs....very odd!

Latest:-

Reply from support to uninstall and reinstall which I have just done......I now wait to see if I get calls from the other room saying...."It's not working again"......Here's hoping

Simon

Good luck!

Hi @EJB

 

I looked at the code and there is a problem; if support tool can't find Desktop directory it will fall back to the executable directory. Unfortunately it's executed from a temporary directory that gets deleted when it's done, so it's no wonder you can't find the package. I will create an internal bug report of this.

 

Meanwhile, you can manually specify the output file from command line to support tool like this (run from command-line):

 

fsdiag_standalone.exe --out c:\your\path\here\fsdiag.7z

Ville,

Thank you for that information.....I did hope that I wasn't being stupid

 

The reinstallation resolved the problem and I have since upgraded my other Windows 8.1 PC with no further errors.
