F-Secure is very effective, but does not offer 100% protection, like all Antivirus software on the market.
If it would be inefficient, nobody would go to them
True. Like MacDefender and SeriousHoax were saying, could be a god tier product if they just improved certain aspectsF-Secure is very effective, but does not offer 100% protection, like all Antivirus software on the market.

Same here, copied loads of data. No difference at all when compared to my previous AV Bitdefender.

F-secure is working well and is not buggy in my experience, in fact I have not seen anyone on this forum call it buggy. What you are reading is Malware testers giving their opinion on how the software can be improved further. They do the same thing for all the AVs on this forum.

They say you don't need to use the uninstall tool unless your having issues uninstalling the regular way which I assume is thru the Control Panel. I've uninstalled it twice with zero issues.
I wanna be clear in that I believe F-Secure is one of the best AV options on the market right now, both in terms of how well the product performs as well as the company’s long track record and commitment to ethical practices. A lot of us have criticisms for every AV package out there because they all have room to improve — I could write just as much about what is wrong with ESET, Kaspersky, etc.
DeepGuard can be a little sensitive, yes, but that is why it is one of the strongest zero day behavior blockers on the market, and has helped boost the product when their primary engine (BD or Avira) has gone through ups and downs.
IMO as a consumer, DeepGuard false positives are easy to troubleshoot and deal with. DeepGuard only terminates processes, it never deletes files. And the block notification can be clicked to add an exception.
It's definitely on my list of products to consider!

I have had f-secure for many years, have never experienced any virus or malware or other things in those years. I test regularly with other programs because I find it strange that so many people have problems with attacks, and I never get it. I sometimes live a little dangerous but use my head, and to be honest, I do not notice f-secure at all.
At home, the whole family runs f-secure and has done so for years, and Chinese programs are also used to communicate with family and friends in China. Never a problem. I'm not saying that no one can get into trouble, but I do not know how they get it? Have used Kaspersky on a couple of machines as well, but now it is only f-secure everywhere. If everyone who uses f-secure has it like me, everyone will use this great program. This is all I can say about f-secure.

I recently installed F-Secure; I'd say about a week ago. I just also bought a Kaspersky license that will not be using because as of installing F-Secure I noticed quite a drastic difference in performance (specially gaming); overall everything I do on a daily basis feels snappier. I started with a trial of F-Secure and loved it so much that within 2 days I purchased a license through serial cart System is smoother and combined with Hard_Configurator I feel well protected. NO regrets!

Slapped F-Secure on the gaming rig to test it out. No issues so far. 3D Mark numbers about identical to Microsoft Defender. First good sign.

Just uninstalled it this week , for testing other AV now.

So far I agree. It definitely is replacing Bitdefender on my laptop. We’ll see if it will stay in my gaming tower, which usually is just a Microsoft Defender machine.
It uninstalls easily with no problems but def leaves quite a bit of leftover folders and such.

Quarantined items/logs won't be removed during the uninstallation process. Also there is no option to removed them in the uninstall wizard.
