I don't use F-Secure so I don't know. Maybe @Shadowra can help. She recently did a F-Secure test video.Well, I mean, if I install F-Secure in my daughters laptop and knowing she has administrators right for her account, how can I prevent her from changing F-Secure's settings ou disabling the protection. I mean, Comodo, Kaspersky, ESET and others have the ability to add a password that is requested every time I try to access the settings interface or if I try to disable the protection. How can the same be acomplished with F-Secure?
Sorry! I didn't understand what you meant to say.I think you can use the means to apply and manage child accounts from My F-Secure.

If that's your goal, why do you allow her or anyone else with administration access?Oh, I see! However, it seems to not be capable of preventing her from disabling the protection, nor someone else I let use my computer.
I don't live with her, so she needs to manage her own computer in case she needs to do something while I can't help. Also, I normally don't let people use my computer, but there may be some cases where my girlfriend has to access my computer and she will do it from my account.If that's your goal, why do you allow her or anyone else with administration access?
You're right, but most ordinary users do not posses the know-how to boot into safe mode and manipulate the registry. Moreover, they won't even bother to open the antivirus.The problem with password protected settings is that with a local administration account, it's dead easy to boot in SafeMode edit a little reg entry from 1 to 0, reboot the machine and it's Game Over. I know that's the case with at least 1 of those extra mentioned AVs in this thread. That's one reason why I prefer SUA ( standard user account ).
Your missing the point the OP asking about:most ordinary users do not posses the know-how to boot into safe mode and manipulate the registry. Moreover, they won't even bother to open the antivirus.
You can not change F-Secures settings without open the Antivirus UI ( user interface ), and you can not disable it's protection elsewhere because of a self-protection feature called " Tamper Protection ". Unless one uninstall the whole AV from the admin account, but that is normally obvious in a administration account. Tamper Protection or any other of SAFE settings requires access inside the UI and without a administration account, one is forced to use a password if the admin account actually is password protected to begin with.how can I prevent her from changing F-Secure's settings ou disabling the protection.
