Hi!

 

I have updated to the new OSX Yosemite. After the update I have some problems with the real-time scanning. It dosen't work. It says that the Mac is NOT protected against virus. Can some people help me, before I have to buy another virusprogram for protection?

 

Sorry for my bad english :)

    Dear gushecht,

     

    Currently F-Secure Anti-Virus for Mac does not support Mac OS X Yosemite yet as Apple has not officially launch it.  F-Secure will support Mac OS X Yosemite after Apple launches the official version.

    Thanks.
    Best Regards,
    Andy Yoon

    Supported Platforms for Anti-Virus for Mac doesn't mention Yosemite. So either it's not supported, or maybe it is supported but that page hasn't been updated. I'm not sure so I hope the F-Secure team can help out here!

     

    You could try to uninstall and reinstall the product and see if that helps. Uninstallation Tool:

    ftp://ftp.f-secure.com/support/tools/uitool/mac/MacProtection/

    Hi,

     

    It seems that the Yosemite upgrade deletes a folder essential to our software. The easiest way to resolve the problem is to re-install the application.

     

    If you're familiar with Terminal, you can also fix the problem by running the following command as an admin user (you will need to supply your password):

     

    sudo mkdir /usr/local/f-secure/fssp/var/update/

    We are in the same boat, the recommended solution of mkdir: /usr/local/f-secure/fssp/var/update/ does not fix the issue. The F-Secure client still shows as unregistered.

    I've proven this by creating this folder after the Yosemite upgrade with the above terminal command.


    I am in an organization that has hundreds of client machines to upgrade so I would need something thats automated or just works from F-Secure themselves. Please advise

    Hi,

     

    the latest F-Secure products should all support Yosemite. If you're still having problems, please contact support through this form: https://www.f-secure.com/en/web/home_global/support/support-request - attach the output of Support Tool so that we can diagnose the problem. Your description of the problem "client still shows as unregistered" suggests that this may be a different issue from the real-time scanning problems related to Yosemite upgrades.
