Known issues with the new Main UI:
Hello,
Thanks for the release! :)
I found this New Wave of F-Secure main UI interesting. Maybe even with great potential (for its visual part).
However, clouds are more like "sky mountains" or "space hills" :)
But some concerns to ask:
Thanks!
Ticket number : 03638557
I was promised many many weeks ago by a junior F-Secure representative, that specific issue would be added within 1 week with a solution to the Beta version. I have not seen or heard a single Beep. Please confirm! That is still a very serious working bug and should been fixed a long time ago.
Regards
Hi @Ukko
The internal browser for showing scan report has been removed. Default browser will be used to show all HTML content pages, like scan report.
The amount of events changes based on how many fit to the screen. If you resize to have more space, more events will be added. Events are also context sensitive, so "Viruses and Threats" page show events related to it only. As for the rest of the issues, those are visual bugs and will be fixed later.

Hi @upnorthSE
I have to give some background on how we work. There are 2 teams, one is working on the scanning logic & engines ("Ultralight"), one is working on rest of the product. I represent the latter team. Beta updates are announced for product updates only and we only track issues reported for product part. If there are fixes in the Ultralight part, they will be released on completely independent release cycle with no announcement at all. I can't confirm if this is fixed or not, but in general, beta releases may get delayed for various reasons.

Thanks Ville for the reply.
I elevated and requested the ticket re-opened today and was promised the Malware team would reach out and help me. I deeply hope they do, but I do recommend you still take a peek at that ticket as I been adding pretty extensive and thorough material that shows and highlight the issue.
With this new upcoming version, can you please help and add a bit screenshots for us that don't have the version installed?
The new interface is different - interesting. Wait and see how it feels.
The update was smooth as always.
Just wondering again...
Does the software automatically detect which browsers are installed and suggest the browsing protection extension to be installed if it finds that it is not installed?
To me it suggested installing the extension to Edge which I normally do not use and which is not the default browser.

Hello,
I'm posting this info in this thread, as you may not have noticed the incident announcement in another thread. If you also have FS ID Guardian installed, its recent beta update 14 may have uninstalled FS Protection from your system, and this may have gone unnoticed by you. So you may want to verify that FS Protection is still installed, and reinstall it if it has gone missing. More info at https://community.f-secure.com/en/discussion/123481/fs-id-guardian-pc-5-0-beta-14-upgrade-removed-fs-protection#latest. We apologise for this incident.
This is an update to a recent comment I made on Dec 22. I meant I like how the green goes around the box for the "Banking Protection" when that's activated. & then it goes away when you end it. I think that's pretty cool.
I have used other anti-virus programs through the years. They never really seemed to protect my computer though. It seemed I'd always get a virus, trojan or something at some point. Something would slip though. And I wouldn't even know it until my computer started acting really weird. Which then I'd run the anti-virus & it would come up with something that got through. But the damage was pretty much already done then. I hated that & didn't have much faith in antivirus programs because of that.
When I found out about the F-Secure anti-virus beta program & everything it said it would do, I was excited but also skeptical. I'm really glad its calmed my skepticism.
Since I started using F-Secure beta program I have felt that my computer is actually protected. As soon as a virus or trojan or something tries to attack my computer, F-Secure is right there blocking it. & it gives me a notification right away.
I try not to go on to sketchy sites. But some times its hard to know. With F-Secure, it will give you a warning not to enter that site & I really like that.
The F-Secure program is easy to install & easy to use. Its very user friendly. I also really like the "Banking Protection". I feel a lot better knowing there's another level of protection when accessing my banking details. I just wish it would work for all purchases online, although I'm sure that's probably really difficult to do. But maybe in time.
I also like that any time you have an issue or need help here(with F-Secure products) someone is always there to help you, pretty quick too. Its not like they are doing it because they "have" to. They make you feel like they really "want" to help you. & I love that.
I have been using the F-Secure program for a few years now. & it keeps getting better & better. I just really, REALLY like the F-Secure program. For the first time I actually feel like my computer is being protected. Not to mention you can reach out to them any time for help or answers to questions, etc. Just having that sense of that all around protection makes me feel SOOO much better & protected being online. & I really like being a part of the beta program/community here. I like helping people in general. So I guess its only natural to want to help makes something thats already a winner(F-Secure) even better.
Thank you to ALL of the F-Secure team & everyone here! Wishing you a Very Happy, Healthy & Protected New Year, 2021!
@DeclanA7X , we have discussed the Dark mode support for the UI here but currently there are no plans for this. It's not trivial to do and there have not been many requests for it.

Hello,
I liked the UI improvements in beta 4. And, in particular, the AV part with a change in the order of listing "tools" and composition itself. A bit more smooth.
But I also have one point to ask. After beta4, each system restart (or maybe shutdown - launch back) - fs protection tray logo (where I place it to be shown) is switched to hidden state in "^" menu. I did not check situation enough good and maybe it was coincidence each time. (if not) Is there a reason for this?
Thanks!
