Removable drives, such as USB sticks, are becoming more prominent in the quick spreading of malware and F-Secure ought to implement a feature, that scans removable drives automatically when the drive is plugged in to the computer. I currently have SAFE installed on my laptop and I would like to have such feature as removable drive scanning is a basic yet important feature.

I have become aware of FS Protection replacing SAFE, via th the BETA program website (https://beta.f-secure.com/welcome/key/P4HQFHCLWGK95M0L). I would like to know the approximate date that FS Protection will replace SAFE.

Hello Ukko, SAFE is phenomenel as it currently is but a change in settings would mean that DeepGuard (the behaviour blocker) will be more reactive due to one changing the settings to aggressive, as well as mitigating any infection by unknown malware. Further to your point, newly created malware which have no known signatures may be hard to detect by the behaviour blocker so thus one tweaking the setting to aggressive will imprve the chances of the behaviour blocker mitigating an infection. One example is DUQU.2.0, the malware that struck Kaspersky Lab. They did not know about the infection until the malware was harvesting data and the malware was not known to KSN or to their signatre databse, so one changing the settings to aggressive will maje the behviour blocker more reactive and thus mitigate an infection.

SAFE, the product which I am currently using, is phenomenol but it does not offer much customsiation in the settings (for example, you can not set anti-virus or DeepGuards's behaviour to aggreesive). I understand that F-Secure's products are targeted towards novice users but there ought to be some customisable seetings for the advanced users. Prior to using SAFE I was with a very well-known AV vendor and the software of the well-known was highly customisable, which I liked as advanced users could tailor the product to their liking.

Hello, I thank you for taking your time to reply. I used to use Kaspersky Internet Secuirty 2016, which provided a seperate vulnerability scanner, although it was quite heavy onn resource, but I am quite dissapointed that F-Secure doesn't offer a seperate vulnerability scanner in their premium products, SAFE and Internet Security. Many 'big' players have seperate vulnerability scanners, so I don't why F-Secure hasn't added a sepearte scanner. I have checked the modules, the full system scan doesn't check for vulnerabilites, and if it does not to the extent of a vulnerability scanner. I hope the experts at F-Secure can add a vulnerability scanner as soon as possible.

Hello, I will try to assist you with your query. From the research I have conducted, SAFE can be installed on all devices, including IOS and MAC OS, whereas F-Secure Internet Secuirty is restricted to Windows, Andtroid and MAC OS. Overall, protetction wise, both products are the same, but if you need F-Secure on all platforms, you should get SAFE. I would recommend Internet Secuirty as it's cheaper and the protection is the same. Secondly, you can visit the following website, it states test results conducted on products: https://www.av-test.org/en/antivirus/home-windows/windows-10/

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to contact the experts at F-Secure, but I have noticed, since installing F-Secure Safe, that F-Secure doens't offer a vulnerability scanner, whereas their competitiors, such as Kaspersky Lab and Bitdefender, do offer vuknerability scanners. As F-Secure is regarded as a premium product, which is evident through it's premium selling price, the expertes ought to add a vulnerability scanner. Yes it's a trivial feauture, but it can greatly increase the protection of clients.
