Better Control and Monitoring on Scheduled/Manual Scans
Hello, currently (2024-08-23, F-Secure 19.5), the Scanning Results are scattered between Pop-Up Windows, HTML Reports and the main App. Reality: On bigger/modern systems (>50GB HDD/SSD) instead of scanning for days (total disk usage across 3 SSDs: 4TB) and potentially failing/freezing. Any chance of better control on the…

'Every FOUR weeks' Scheduled Scan _incorrectly_ schedules & runs every 7 days, every week. WHY?
F-Secure Version 19.3 Under Settings > Scanning Setings > Scheduled Scanning, the program does not function correctly; Specificially, the setting 'Perform Scan: Every FOUR week' does NOT schedule correctly: instead, it sets a scheduled date of 1 week (7 days) in future, instead of 4 weeks, every time… and scans indeed…

"Schedule scan" UI that should be reported proactively.
As many people have suggested here, the scheduled scan UI is expected to provide additional convenience. In my opinion, for users who have migrated to F-Secure from other security software, a scheduled scan that only declares it to start seems unfriendly. At least, I found it confusing. Also, if you turn off your PC during…

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…

Relaunch a scheduled scan if the system has been shut down before
Hi all, Please add the option for F-Secure SAFE to start a scheduled scan as soon as possible after the previously powered off system is booted and running again. Example: The next scheduled scan is Sunday at 11 am. The system will not be up and running until 1 pm that day. Expected behavior: The automatic scan will start…

Start a scheduled scan when one has been missed
Sometimes my machine is switched off or hibernating when a scheduled scan is due. This appears to lose the scan entirely. This brings two suggestions: 1) If a scan is lost because the machine is switched off, to start a scan next time it is restarted. 2) If the machine is hibernating or asleep when a scan is due, wake the…

Background scan
For manually initiated scans, no matter what type (complete, fast or manual), you should be able to close the window so that the scan continues to run in the background. Then it should be possible to call it up via the F-Secure event viewer and optionally also via the tray icon, e.g. with "All scans" or so where these are…

Safe for android?
It sucks...Big Time! No back or forward buttons and if you hit the home button to do anything else while you're browsing it closes your page and any other tab you might have had open. Even the f-secure site won't load properly so that I can see the cookies warnings at the bottom of the page. If you can't accept cookies,…

Make progress of a scheduled scan visible.
At the moment there sees to be no way of viewing the progress of a scheduled scan, as opposed to a manual scan. This would be useful, so that a user can decide whether or not to switch off a machine which is currently scanning. I have just switched over from using Kaspersky and I found this feature very useful.

Continue scan after gaming
When a scheduled scan is executed and during that scan a game is started then that scan is terminated by the gaming mode. The scan does not continue where it had been stopped, it's cancelled instead. The correct behaviour would be to pause the scan during gaming 6 and continue when gaming mode is turned off. This is an…

How do I view the progress/status of a scheduled/background scan?
When a scheduled deep scan has started I can see the Event history entry that says "Scheduled virus scan has started" but how can I tell when it has completed and how can I view the status and progress of the scan?

Add a button to switch off a machine when a scheduled scan has finished
Following on from my previous suggestion (and with the same comment about Kaspersky), if there were a button which switched off a machine when it has finished a scheduled scan, there would be less reason to provide a progress indication. This button should be available in real time, so that if a user is still working…

Can I schedule a full scan?
I'm trialling F-Secure SAFE on a Windows 10 machine. I want to schedule a full scan weekly, but can't see how to do it. I can do it manually, but that setting doesn't seem to be available for a scheduled scan. Or does that use the same setting as a manual scan?
