The latest stable version for F-Secure on PC have been updated to 17.6 and that includes SAFE and the Antivirus version. The update should happen automatic. Update information also found in the local UpgradeMessages folder.
Banking protection clears the clipboard

For added security, all the information is wiped from the clipboard when a banking session ends. Restart reminder added.
A reminder is shown if your computer needs to be restarted; for example, after real-time or scheduled scanning has removed a harmful system infection.

Improved statistics

The product main page now shows a statistics counter for various security actions, such as files scanned and website reputations checked.

Other general improvements
  • The Time limits feature has been renamed to Device use limits; the functionality of the feature remains unchanged.
  • Croatian language support has been added.
  • Some user interfaces have been re-implemented using Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2. If you do not have Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2 installed, it will be automatically installed during installation/upgrade.
Overall scanning engine improvements
  • The engine uses the browser's "mark-of-the-web" to decide if a file should be analyzed in the Security Cloud. This improves the detection of potentially unwanted applications.
  • Performance improvements to scanning when you install applications.
  • Improved website reputation look-ups from the Security Cloud for Browsing Protection.
  • Improved reliability for engine updates.
Note: We strongly recommend that you remove all other security products before installation.
