Where on the website can I locate the F-Secure MD5 or SHA-256 hash to compare against the installer file I found in my Windows PC?

    Hello,

    Where on the website can I locate the F-Secure MD5 or SHA-256 hash to compare against the installer file I found in my Windows PC?

    maybe is nowhere.

    Сan you try to check the digital signature of the file (certificate)? I think it is hard to damage or change the file while keeping a valid certificate. Correct me if I'm wrong in this opinion.

    Then, the installer (as I think) checks its own integrity and if something is wrong, then accordingly there will be an error. Such as if the download was interrupted / saved as incomplete.

    The current installers will most likely require an F-Secure account, so you can also try downloading a "fresh" installer from My F-Secure portal (my.f-secure.com). To be sure of its origin.

    I admit the possibility that for some solutions or some specific installers there may be a checksum somewhere in some form for verification on their web-resources. Also, probably official representatives of Support can confirm or check whether the given SHA-256 or MD5 applies to their software.

    Thanks!
