[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 914634, member: 78686"] F-Secure is good in terms of performance but its removal engine is a disaster. I tried it today to mainly check the lightness. It wrongly detected one file but I was able to restore and exclude that. Then it detected two more files, both are false positives but one of them is detected by some other products also so that detection is acceptable. After detection it scanned the system for few seconds in the background in both cases then asked for a restart, so I did. But after the restart I saw that both of the files were completely removed from the system. They were not in the quarantine, not in the list of blocked application. Only visible in the recent activity panel but there's no way to restore the files or anything. F-Secure previously had problems with malware removal and this time it completely removed file from the system while it should've been put into the quarantine. The false positive rate is already higher than average and now this. Awful, buggy removal engine, terrible experience. Uninstalled. [/QUOTE]
