Safe for android?
It sucks...Big Time!
No back or forward buttons and if you hit the home button to do anything else while you're browsing it closes your page and any other tab you might have had open.
Even the f-secure site won't load properly so that I can see the cookies warnings at the bottom of the page.
If you can't accept cookies, you can't very well browse can you?
I have it on my phone and 3 computers...until today.
I don't know how many times I log on and get a message that f-secure isn't on that particular machine and I can't update or anything until I reinstall it from scratch.
It has also become a resource hog.
Two laptops I have will barely do anything when it's scanning and there is no way to stop or pause a scheduled scan.
So, in the end it has become pretty much useless to me.
They'll all be gone by the end of the day.
I'd like my money back for the remainder of my subscription (over 2 years) but I won't hold my breath on that.

You may press back on your device to go back to the previous page. To move forward, click on the 3 dots at the top right-hand corner and you will see the option to forward the page.
You may also enable quick controls on the SAFE browser. To enable quick controls on your SAFE browser. open the SAFE browser on your phone > click on the 3 dots at the top right-hand corner > go to Settings > tap on Labs > click on Quick controls to enable.

Two laptops I have will barely do anything when it's scanning and there is no way to stop or pause a scheduled scan.
The scheduled scan in F-Secure SAFE works in the background, therefore there is no pop-up window where the progress can be followed and no option to stop an ongoing scheduled scan.
A notification occurs in F-Secure SAFE current events once the scheduled scan is started and performed. The scan report is accessible when clicking on the show report next to the notification.
However, the scheduled scanning progress will be updated on the next version.
We also always encourage our users to submit any suggestions or ideas that they think will make F-Secure products a smoother experience. You may also submit any suggestions or ideas for us to improve the products feature Feature Requests — F-Secure Community
Thank you and stay safe.
