"WEB TRAFFIC SCANNING" MISSING IN F-SECURE SAFE VERSION 19.4
I RECENTLY NOTICED THAT WITH THE F-SECURE SAFE LATEST VERSION 19.4, THEY HAVE REMOVED THE FEATURE CALLED "WEB TRAFFIC SCANNING". IT USED TO BE ON THE EARLIER VERSIONS SUCH AS 19.1 AND 19.2. I THINK F-SECURE DOES NOT SCAN FOR NETWORK TRAFFIC ANY LONGER AND MY COMPUTER IS EXPOSED WIDE TO THE HACKERS.

Optimize scan on smartphone (& PC)
The FS protection app starts a full scan every time it is recharged. It would be nice if this happens only 1x a day or there is an option how often a scan takes place. For example, the options "daily & weekly" would be quite good, and perhaps with the addition that it then also only takes place when the smartphone is…

Safe Browser not visible in Android app control
Hi, how can the kid's time spent on Safe Browser be limited as its not visible in Android SAFE App Control like other apps? So for example total daily limit 2h of which max 1h could be spent on Safe Browser. Or how could SB be totally disabled? Then I'd allow e.g. only Chrome which can be time controlled.
