The latest stable version for F-Secure on PC have been updated to 17.5 and that includes SAFE and the Antivirus version. The update should happen automatic but, for me personal after waited 2 weeks since it's official release and after a support case, decided to download the latest installer for SAFE and re-install. Worked flawless and the installation process in my case was silly fast as it took less then 1 minute and I didn't need to enter the license again on the website, even if I removed it as step one. The Capricorn ( Avira ) engine seem to update itself much faster then the previous Aquarius ( Bitdefender ) engine. Easy checked in the AUA.log.

What's new in F-Secure SAFE for PC/Internet Security - F-Secure Community
Dialog and notification enhancements
Family Rules enhancements
- 'Recent events' has a Clear all button.
- The Advanced network protection toast message for potentially unwanted application (riskware) has a Trust button.
- The DeepGuard toast message for potentially unwanted application (riskware) has a Remove button.
Product architecture changed
- The main user interface displays a warning if a child's account has administrative rights and parental control/family rules is turned on.
- The Allow/deny web sites feature works for individual web pages; not just web sites.
Subscription/licensing subsystem redesign
- Instead of three separate modules that combined to make the product, there is now just a single package.
- The product is installed first, and the license is entered/acquired after installation.
- The new architecture makes the installation and updates more reliable.
- Smaller disk space required.
- Reduced the memory footprint (excluding Ultralight processes).
Other improvements
- A subscription reminder is first shown as a toast message and only closer to expiration date, as a dialog.
- The subscription expiration date is shown in the local timezone with hour accuracy.
- The main user interface has a Manage subscription link, which turns into a Renew link when the subscription is about to expire.
- A subscription update is shown as a toast message with the new end date (if available).
- The subscription status updates faster and in all places of the product at the same time.
- The new virus signature databases are not downloaded when the product has expired.
The following features were removed:
- When you report a website from the browsing protection block page, the URL is pre-filled in the submit form.
- Support for the Korean language was added.
- The F-Secure Support tool has been improved:
- The F-Secure Support tool supports high resolution and accessibility features.
- The F-Secure Support tool uses zlib for compression instead of 7-zip. You can now inspect more easily what has been collected before you send it to F-Secure. This helps with privacy and transparency.
- The Installation complete page, as it did not bring additional value.
- A warning indicating the Firewall is off. Windows shows the warning already.
- Browsing time lock mode. Now the whole device is always locked.
- The Installed applications page from Common settings.
- The Subscription keys page from Common settings.
@Lord Ami is actively testing F-Secures Beta product, now version 17.6 in the HUB.Note: We strongly recommend that you remove all other security products before installation.
