What is F-Secure?

No matter how carefully you operate your computer or mobile, you still need a proactive protection to safeguard your device from malicious viruses in case they destroy or steal your data without your awareness. F‑Secure is an internet security company based in Finland aiming to protect you against modern online and offline threats, from regular viruses to ransomware or hackers trying to steal your data. Their security products have been defending tens of millions of people around the globe from digital threats for over 25 years. F-Secure secures your online banking connection and also allows you to set limits for internet usage for children. Both you and your family can surf safely with the help of it. It is a complete Internet security and virus protection for PCs, Macs, smartphones and tablets.

F-Secure offers 4 antivirus products. The two outstanding products are called F-Secure Safe and F-Secure Total, and others are F-Secure Internet Security and F-Secure Antivirus. All the 4 products use the company’s anti-malware technology, which combines a viral-signature scanner licensed from Bitdefender with F-Secure’s own behavioral-monitoring tools to detect previously unseen malware.

F-Secure Antivirus ($39.99/year, up to 3 PCs) offers basic virus protection & removal on computer and it is an entry-level product.
