F-Secure Safe Banking

redvet

I am running a trial copy of  F-Secure following a troubled period with BitDefender  and hope for better things !!  Am I correct in thinking that there used to be a seperate desktop icon for F-Secure Banking, I cannot find it on my trial copy .  Safe Banking is working to the point that when I access my banking url up pops the floating window . Am I missing something in my download ?

Hi!

 

There is no separate desktop icon for F-Secure's `Banking Protection'.

'Banking Protection' is a security layer (protection feature) that is integrated in F-Secure Safe and Internet Security. So don't worry - nothing's missing. If you see the notification banner when accessing a banking webpage, everything should be working right.

 

(Check: Please open F-Secure Safe and then go to Settings. You should find an entry saying 'Banking Protection'.)

What is Banking Protection and how does it work?

OK got that and thanks for quick response.  I guess I got used to BD being able to load the bank urls in the seperate banking mode.  I had a bit of a problem getting FS to recognise one of my banks ( no bar appeared) but after several attempts it showed up and I bookmarked it and it seems OK to access now.

When the trial is over I might decide to add Freedome to get extra cover since I use online banking quite a lot.  Didn't see that option when I downloaded the trial and too late now that the SAFE package is running.

Freedome is a standalone product, no matter you buy it saparately to an exisiting F-Secure Safe license or as a software bundle (= F-Secure Total Security).  So watch out for the best offer
