That seems to have been something less definitive and non repeateable I do not recall unblocking CuteWriter and when I look at the blocked items it is not there and as said Cutewriter was not really blocked.

OK, so the notification says pontetially, but when you click for more information potentially is dropped. The thing is that I did not launch or use CuterWriter to get the notification and that it is not really blocked.

Smooth upgrade to rel 210, thank you. Then out of the blue the event notification says that CuteWriter is blocked. This detection from the F-Secure Security Cloud identifies a program that has behaviors or aspects which are considered undesirable, unwanted or risky, but do not meet the stricter definition of malware. I can understand that the definitions in the cloud may have been updated to reflect new versions, but 1. This version of CuteWriter has been installed for two years 2. ULAV and Safe do not give notification (Have not tried IS yet) 3. What does it mean blocked? I can still use it as before without allowing.

On my eePC that was easily fixed: Increasing the height of the toolbar to the the double will resize the image to fit the screen. Reducing the toolbar height back to single icon height will not change the size of the image. Otherwise I have not found a way to resize the image.

Thanks https://community.f-secure.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/23391 If I have it on once in 1 - 3 weeks it appears that there are always FS and MS updates to downloaded and installed and I just have to live with that and have the eeePC up more frequently and allow time for the updates. These are the updates which were installed during the time of limited response. This week without network connection the CPU looks like this After 10 - 15 minutes that levels at After connect to LAN the updates started again The FS updates were already installed at that point With the faster PC with the real ULAV the Microsoft modules installer can also have a high CPU value, but that does not last as long. A bigger problem is that when the PC is on for a day or more Firefox and Thunderbird CPU can be more than 50 % each at times. Fortunately restart of the program solves that for another day.

I have this eeePC with 900 Mhz Celeron running Win 10 and FS - IS installed on it. I do not use it daily, but a couple of times a month. My problem is that when I turn it on updates are killing it. If there are uninstalled Windows updates available, downloading and installing takes all CPU and disc access. However, eventually it get updated and there are not always new updates. The other updates are FS IS updates Those are available mor frequently and they, too, are killing it This is after the CPU has leveled, but the nothing can be done because ULAV is using disc access. I've installed IS so at first I wondered why is ULAV there in the first place. According to yeoldfart Superuser 20-06-2017 03:45 PM Re: What happened to ULAV? Hello ! Ultralight engine is now the core of FS AV, ulav not intended to become a GP AV. ULAV is part of IS now, so it is OK that I see it, but it does not help with the performance. Still would like to know if my installation is OK. Secondly can I do something about it other than just having the eeePC on daily even if I do not need to use it? Eventually after a day to two the performance is not reduced by the updates anymore. An option could be the use of aother lighter cloud based AV like Immunet, but would that give less protection? I do have ULAV on other PC's, but I use them daily and they are faster so I do not see such a performce problem with them.

This is in response to the community mailer. No I did not get an answer. Re: Of course, the GUI *is* resizable and layout responsive so you might still be able to get it to do somethig useful That is only partially true: I can make the image larger by dragging the borders, but I cannot make it smaller from the size in which it opens. Secondly the borders are in visible even if that were possible. The hardware the hardware did not come with support better resolutions than 800x600 so suggesting adjusting screen resolution is no answer either and hacks to get higher resolution were for XP only. The manufacturer does not support Win 10 on eeePC and therefore it is using MS Basic display driver which does not offer better than 800x600

Thanks. Looking more closely at it the screen resolution is 800x600. I'd be happy to use 1024, but it is an old brand name laptop and as usual there are no display drivers for other than the original OS. So it is using MS basic driver and no other resolution is available. Tried to use the second workaround you suggested. However, the option is not available. In theory I can see the menu options in the small icon Windows displays and could imagine to be able to navigate with Tab

An update regarding Microsoft https://www.theverge.com/2017/6/20/15836208/microsoft-kaspersky-eu-anti-virus-complaint-response No update from F-Seccure this far. Found one situation where the message is valid: When F-Secure is updating at a given point it is not working and Windows acts fast a lightning and tells that it is turned off. The message remains after F_Secure is back on.

Thanks Ukko, I could buy that explanation on low perpormance and occasional use. With Kaspersky I think that is something less general and more recent. See http://www.pcworld.com/article/3141312/windows/kaspersky-labs-says-microsoft-is-anticompetitive-towards-third-party-antivirus.html

Does Windows 10 update turn F-Secure IS off? This is somewhat similar to the thread Windows 7 Action Centre Reports F-Secure is Turned Off but not exact as it only happens during updating. I have this eecPC 900 with Windows 10 home and use is maybe once a month. It is so slow that I have to start is a day early so that it has time to finish Windows and F-S IS updates before I start using. I've noticed it a couple of time that while doing Windows update I get the message that F-S and Defender are both turned of and in in F-S it suggest to reboot the PC. Rebooting does turn F-S on again, but after a while it goes off again. Another way to turn it on is first to go to F-S and disable all of it and then turn on, but again it goes off after a while. When the Windows (and F-S) updates are completed it stays on without problem. Is that something similar Kaspersky reported Windows doing to their software? Has anybody else experienced anything similar in Windows with only F-S installed and active?

Ei se nyt minulle tässä tapauksessa riitä eikä se ole käyttäjäystävällistä. Voihan niin tehdä, jos halua karkoittaa käyttäjät. Kun hakee paikkakunnan katsastusasemilta aikaa tietylle päivälle useimmiten joutuu antamaan ajoneuvon tiedot ensin ennenkuin aikoja näytetään. Jos ei sopivaa löydy mennään varauksessa takaperin alkuun ja sitten seuraavalle asemalle. Kun sitten lopulta löytyy aika, niin pankkiyhteyden avaamisen jälkeen ei enää selaimessa näe, millä asemalla lykästi.

Kiitti. Se kertoo, miten pankkitoimintojen suojaus menee päälle ja mitä se tekee Pankki-istunnon aikana kun olet luotetussa pankkisivustossa. Silmiini ei osunut, mitä tapahtuu pankki-istunnon jälkeen tai pitääkö käyttäjän tehdä jotain päästäkseen taas vapaasti surffailemaan.

Kiitos vastauksista. Kyse ei ollut siitä, etteikö katsastuksen varaus olisi toiminut. Joo kyllä pankin taspahtumatiedoista näkee, onko maksu suoritettu. Muut varauksen tiedot eivät siinä näy. Joo ne näkyvät varauksen vahvistussähköpostissa, jonka saapuminen ilmeisesti osoittaa varauksen tapahtuneen, jos oikean sähköpostin on antanut. Tiedot näkyy myös tekstiviestissäaj muistaakseni puhelinnumero oli varaustiedoissa pakollinen. Oman käyttäjäni kannalta olisi varausta suunnitellessa mukavaa saada nopeasti ja helposti tietää milloin asemalla on vapaita aikoja. Tuo järjestelmä kuitenkin haluaa ensin asiakkaan auton tiedot kertoakseen milloin on katsastusaika ja mitä voi katsastaa. Kun on vapaita aikoja hakenut parilta asemalta se on jo kyllä selvinnyt ellei sitä heti alussa tiedä. Tämä ei ollut testicase, eikä sitä voi halutessa toistaa, ellei halua tehdä montaa maksullista varausta. Paluu URL ei siksi ole tallella, vaan se katosi saman tien. Refresh ja back eivät enää auttaneet. On tietysti mahdollista, että juuri tässä tapauksessa paluussa olisi ongelma. Saman tyyppinen ongelma on ollut aikaisemminkin ja silloin on päässyt takaisin myyjän sivulle otettuani Bankin Protectionin pois päältä. Yritänpä ensi kerralla ottaa osoitteen talteen. Banking Protectionin pitäisi suojata silloin, kun syötetään maksukortti- tai verkkopankkitietoja. Pankin sivuilla ja verkkokaupan sivuilla on erona se, että pankin sivuilla on suojauksen tarve kaikilla sivuilla ja verkkokaupan sivuilla vain maksamiseen ja ehkä tilaukseen liittyvillä sivuilla, mutta ei kaikilla. Verkkokaupassa käyttäjä voi vielä jatkuvasti surffata näiden sivujen välillä eli tilata ja katsella muita tuotteita. Pystyykö Banking Protection hoitamaan tuon jatkuvarn surffaamisen noiden erityyppisten sivujen välillä? Onko se kuvattu jossain dokumentaatiossa? F-Secure on yleensä niin helppokäyttöinen, ettei dokumentaation ole tarvinnut tutustua.

Having problem with the banking protection again. Made a reservation on K1-Katsastus (vehichle scrutineering). When I entered payment Banking protection kicks in. Fine Completed the payment with Verkkopankki (direct debit from my bank account). Clicked return to the sellers site. Site blocked Usually in case like this ending Banking protection and refreshing the page takes me back to where I should normally be directed. In this case page not found and details of my reservation gone for ever from my eyes. Apparently they were already entered in the sellers system. This behaviour of the Banking protection that after firing it once it blocks the sites where you might be entering payment details until I close the browser ain't working properly, because the non-payment date related to the session on the sellers site is lost when the browser is closed. I should think that stopping Banking protection manually would do the trick, but it is too unreliable to rely on the user to remember that. So which is the lesser of the evils no Bankin protection or losing the non-bank-payment related data? This was on Common Component Framework 2.91 build 198

Thank you Ukko. So what I should expect is that TP and ULAv should block the site once the pishing attempt has been recognized by F-S and added to the black list. Malware protection does not stop you from entering personal data or giving access to it.

Thanks Ukko With recent I mean that it happened recently not considering whether or not it has happened before. Judging by the dates of these articles https://www.vox.com/new-money/2017/5/3/15534984/google-docs-phishing-hack https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2017/05/05/google-phish-thats-a-worm-what-happened-and-what-to-do/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+nakedsecurity+%28Naked+Security+-+Sophos%29 it happened recently. As the articles explain - you would get an email from somebody you know (or even from who you are expecting an email) - the addressee (list) might look OK and - the message might look OK though either or both might look fishy if you look at them closely - there is a link to Google doc in the email - the link takes you to somethere else and there you are asked to give permissions to your contacts and email account If you get that far and do that is it, you fell for it. Glanced quickly through the pages to which you posted links. Did not catch anything about this. What I should imagine is The email should be stopped if you are in a system where there is emailserver protection. Web mail would get to to your inbox. In my case it was Gmail so google did not stop that, and Thunderbird. So I take F-S works more on browsers than email clients. What should happen if you try open the link ? TP, ULAV and Safe browser if you are using that should block access and say it is harmful. If the articles where dated May 3, then the scam already had a reputation by then. If you, howver, go past that and get to the page which ask to give permissions I should expect banking protection to fire. Well, it is not, but still asking pur sensitive informantion and I've seen banking protection being trigger happy so many times that this kind of thing should be programmable for an alert: Alert: Do you realize what the page is asking. Keep you head straight do not give permissions to your personal data or your account.
