    Hi,

    The product does notify you if it detects another installed anti-virus product in the Windows operating system. The detection is done based on anti-virus products that register to the Windows Security Center. Do you have an issue on Windows, or is the request more about the Mac?

    Mostly, I've noticed lately that the F-Secure Total installation doesn't detect or notify other VPN implementations that cause conflicts.In addition, several support requests for uninstallation with the tool and reinstallation speak of the need to more efficiently clean up old installation templates on devices.

    Got it. If you’re designing this tool, a cleaner version of the idea would be:

    A pre-install compatibility checker + remover utility that detects conflicting security software (AV, firewall, endpoint agents), safely uninstalls or disables them (with user consent), and verifies system readiness before installing F-Secure Total.
