FS Protection PC releases

Thank you for the email links, Ville, as the Found a bug? Report it button on the app UI just opens my Edge and Brave home page, and the Settings/Support/Contact Support in the app, opens to this forums Beta thread.

I'll get the .zip files sent out shortly :)

"Found a bug?" button invokes mailto: link, which should open your default email program.

probably only if configured or something is chosen as default.

for me (for example, Windows 10 and no email program in use) - it will ask "How do I prefer to open this?" with a small list of programs (mostly browsers and the option to find an app in the Microsoft Store and a checkbox of remember choice or not).

Then it probably depends on the settings in the browser.

for me - Microsoft Edge will simply open the browser and display the "homepage" (start page), while Firefox, for example, will have mailto: template in the address bar and a dialog box asking you to select an application(?! or kind of pre-defined services/websites) to open paths for this protocol.

// by the way, I recently tried sending an email to a Windows-specific email address. And I did not receive an autoreply (as 'usually' can be there). I did receive an automatic reply to one letter(report) before this attempt and to the next letter (report) after this attempt.

So, does this particular letter/report (without initial auto-reply) mean something like rejected/in spam? I tried to send further letter 'within' thread without any output.

Sorry for spamming. :(

Release 26.6 beta 2 (7.4.226)

I'm in the beta program & I got a message saying I only have 2 days remaining. Do you know if it will be updated soon? Thanks!

Ok, thank you! I didn't know that. I appreciate you letting me know. I sent in an email. Thanks again!

Hi team,I have officially joined the F-Secure Beta Program with my registered email, which has been granted full beta access permission.However, my current forum account is still an Observer role. I can browse all public discussion boards normally, but I am unable to create new posts or reply within the Beta section.I have double-checked that my forum bound email is completely consistent with the email I used to sign up for the beta program. Could you please manually synchronize my beta tester permission to this community account and upgrade my user group so I can submit bug reports and feature feedback in the Beta forum normally?Thank you very much for your help.

Version 26.6 has been publicly released.

Hello,

Regarding after 'analysis' screen with "Was the result useful - Yes/No" in the footer. How am I supposed to answer?

For example,

• I uploaded a random 'safe' screenshot. It says "no scam most likely, all is very fine". So, I click "Yes, the result was useful";
• Then I uploaded a 'tricky' screenshot with some suspicious content; It says "Looks like scam phishing", However with ""Classification completed without detailed explanation"" title; with empty recommendations and ""Analysis incomplete (Detailed image analysis could not be generated)"" as a tip. What should I choose "Yes, useful" (because 'tricky' content is detected) or "No, not useful" (because failed to produce further information about);
• Then I uploaded a screenshot of 'suspicious' looking legit and valid content of email letter found in web by some government structure. It says "Phishing, alright" and detailed title, some recommendations for actions and further explained tips. So, what should I choose "Yes, useful" (because tips and explanation are provided) or "No, not useful" (because this is, actually, 'valid' and 'legit' text/content from valid/legit email letter).

To express it less 'directly' - usefulness of result is about correctness (indeed about 'fraud, scam') or about level of detailed explanation? Or rather indeed if it was useful "for me".

Or it does not matter at all; and chosen "yes" or "no" is not acting as something to improve this tool further.

Thanks!

One small feature suggestion related to my question above.

Perhaps the “Was the result useful? Yes / No” feedback could be made a little more specific.

At the moment, one Yes/No answer seems to cover several different things at once:

• whether the Safe / Suspicious / Phishing classification itself was correct;
• whether the explanation was complete and understandable;
• whether the recommended actions were useful;
• and whether the result was simply useful from the user's point of view.

These can produce quite different situations.

For example, Scam Scanner may correctly recognize phishing, but fail to generate the detailed explanation and recommendations. In that case I would probably want to say:

Classification: correct
Analysis: incomplete

On the other hand, it may produce a very detailed and useful-looking explanation, but incorrectly classify a legitimate message as phishing. Then the explanation itself may be good, while the most important part — the classification — is wrong.

So perhaps the feedback could be something like:

Was the classification correct?

• Yes
• No
• Not sure

Was the analysis helpful?

• Yes
• Partly
• No

And if Partly or No is selected, an optional follow-up could appear:

What could be improved?

• Incorrect classification
• Missing or incomplete explanation
• Recommendations were not useful
• Screenshot/content was misunderstood
• Something else

Or, if keeping the UI very simple is preferable, the current one-click feedback could remain, but selecting No could open those additional choices.

I think “Not sure” could also be useful. In many real scam situations the user may be asking Scam Scanner precisely because they do not know whether the message is legitimate, so they may not be able to honestly say that the classification was correct or incorrect.

This might also make the feedback more useful for development: a simple “No” currently cannot tell whether the detection was wrong, the explanation failed, the recommendations were poor, or the user simply did not find the result useful.

Just a thought — especially while the feature is still in Beta. :)
