Thx Sami - I assume the new 2012 update is only available in Windows 7. Not in Vista or the much more stable Windows XP SP3 version. I use Windows XP SP3 - and will only migrate to W7 if I'm absolutely sure it will support periphiral devices I'm using on a daily basis. This is not the case - W7 forces me to buy new equipment. Above that the "Please update" to F-secure 2012 notification approx every 2 hours is extremely annoying and is slowly getting to a level I will abandon ship. I already submitted a 2011 change request for the notification in FS 2011 to add a "don't ask me again" button - however it was put aside by F-secure. Regards

The file ih8.config.xml.log repeatedly grows to a size of 260 Mb. Is there a way to tell F-secure to tone down the size of this file? It seems a bit overdone to me to have a log file of this size. Thx! Indra

Hi, Does End Point Security 2012 have the ability to control automatic updates in Windows XP? On slow cellular GPRS / EDGE connections it's necesarry to stop F-secure updates to prevent the connection to become unusable. I found out in the F-secure home edition, there's no such control anymore in the 2012 version on Windows XP. Is the F2012 End Point Security version any different from the Home edition in this apsect? In the 2011 home version auto updates could be turned of in "Other settings". In 2012 F-secure on Windows 7 there's mobile network detection to allow only the most critical updates. However I think on a 3G - WIFI router this won't work. The cellular connection is routed over WIFI and bcomes a normal WLAN connection. If F2012 End Point Security has auto update controls for Windows XP i might migrate to EPS F-secure. This issue can be found in the home security forum section - F2012 on a prepaid data connection Thanks! Indra

Service request has just been submitted including FSDIAG. I'm running WIndows XP - SP3 which is here to stay for quite a while. I understand the option to control virus database updates is not implemented for F-secure 2012 under Windows XP. The F-secure 2012 menu "other options" doesn't show under Windows XP Cheers Indra

Recently I get the Free F-scure Upgrade" notification screen several times a day. It invites me to download F-secure 2012 with several new features. The only option not to install the free F-secure upgrade is "ask me later". I don't want to upgrade because in the 2012 F-scure version one can't disable automatic updates. (This is for Windows XP - link for more details) How can i prevent the Free F-scure Upgrade" notification screen to pop up several times a day? Can it be done by disabling a F-secure windows service or a Windows registry hack? The popup screen is very anoying! Thanks for the help! Indra

Managed to turn TLS of and use SSL instead using an alternate port:. Alternate Port setting are: POP3 -- uses port 995 SMTP -- uses port 465 IMAP4 -- uses port 993 With this f-secure allows POP traffic

Hi, I'm running F-2011 on Windows Xp Pro Sp3. F-secure is blocking POP mail traffic when secured with TLS (Eudora Mail). I tried to create a rule to allow TLS but failed. I allowed all IP traffic to and from the POP mail address, but to no avail. It didn't work. When i unload F-secure 2011 firewall, i can access POP mail through TLS again. Anyone here knows the solution? Unfortunately i can't switch to SSL for this particular host. Cheers Indra

F-secure 2012 doesn't work for me as a frequent user of PREPAID cellular internet connections. Details can be found here: F-secure 2012 - On PREPAID Internet connection - Automatic Updates can't be turned off I strongly suggest to re-invoke the 2011 implementation for "automatic updates", A simple manual control to turn it off, with notifications when updates are there. This for 3 reasons; - Cost control. Every MB up/downloaded counts - above that in ROAMING mode, MB's are very expensive. - Speed control. Celluar internet can still be GPRS/EDGE (2 - 2.5G) based. This is way too slow for updates - Simplicity. Don't use complex connection detection, it's hard to tell if one is using DSL or Celluar based internet I downgraded to F-secure 2011, if F-secure 2012 and onwards keeps the current implementation I'll look elsewhere. Cheers! Indra

Returned to F-secure 2011 - a few remarks; - F-Secure 2012 comes with Parental controls, in version 2011, I could chose to skip this. During 2012 install there was no option to do that. - The F-secure de-install tool has no feedback, it just removes all, restarts and says nothing. ftp://ftp.f-secure.com/support/tools/uitool/UninstallationTool.exe - One side-effect I can't re-produce, but mention it anyway, its based on Windows XP Pro SP3 all updates installed; After Fsecure 2012 was installed, the WIFI hotspot (open - unsecured) used for download / upgrade could not be connected to. Other nearby WIFI hotspots with WEP/ WPA security worked fine. The WIFI adapter could not get an IP address. Even when trying with USB WIFI adapter, connection to the open WIFI hotspot was not possible anymore. Setting a manual IP address with the right gateway, DNS resulted in a working connection. Somehow IP address acquisition did not work anymore for the OPEN wifi hotspot after F-2012 was installed.Just before de-install, i tested this, still didn't work. Just after F-2012 de-install - IP address acquisition worked again..... Now running with F-secure 2011 again. Will hold on to this version as long as possible.

I remove F-2012 and install F-2011 again. W7 won't work for me now - F2012 won't detect a mobile broadband connection if it's connected over WIFI to a cellular 3G router.

After some digging in the F-secure 2012 manual and a session with F-secure support, it became clear that when running Windows XP the option "Mobile Broadband" in "Other settings" is not available. In the Mobile Broadband settings it's possible to suspend Automatic Updates - which is ONLY available in W7. This leaves those on a Windows XP platform exposed to automatic updates when connected with a prepaid mobile internet connection. Hence large 30-40 Mb updates which occasionally are downloaded can't be stopped. When on a SLOW 2G (GRPS) connection, this will practically annihilate the connection performance. To make matters worse, if your W7 platform is connected through LAN or WIFI the Mobile Broadband setting won't have any effect. It will auto update anyway. I'm connected through a 3G to WIFI wireless router. It has a PREPAID simcard in it and shares a connection among several users. F-secure will not treat this connection as mobile broadband. Im not amused by F-secure 2012......

Hi, Just upgraded to F-secure 2012 - to my amazement there is no option to turn automatic updates off. I'm on a prepaid mobile data connection, paying for every MB that goes up & down the line. Turning Automatic Updates OFF is cost / damage control. Besides this, when the connection is just GPRS/EDGE (2G), its plain annoying to have an automatic update clog the line. I have to downgrade to the previous version to get control over my internet connection again. Anyone knows another solution? Cheers Indra
