New Update F-Secure 18.4 released

[upnorth]

Quote: "

Version 18.4 (4.90.1143)​

Released August 2022

Integrated Password Vault

• You can access your passwords from the product's main user interface.
• If you have the standalone ID PROTECTION product installed, you are given the opportunity to migrate your passwords to the integrated Password Vault.
• If you do the migration, the standalone ID PROTECTION product will continue being fully functional. However, if you wish, you can then uninstall the standalone ID PROTECTION product.
• Note that the password manager browser extension can be configured to access passwords only from one product at a time.

Third-party AV products are no longer removed automatically

• The automatic removal of conflicting 3rd-party AV products has been removed from the product installation.
• You will be warned about existing 3rd-party AV products in the product main user interface via a smart task. This also happens if you afterwards install a 3rd-party AV product on the computer.

Other improvements

• DeepGuard no longer blocks certain Steam games. You are no longer required to exclude Steam games from scanning or turn off DeepGuard to run them.
• A smart task warning let's you know if Tamper protection is turned off.
• Time lock screens support dark mode. "

Both the Steam fix and not needing to remove other AV software are probably the most common issues I hear from users about F-Secure. This will be a welcome update!

Did a manual upgrade to 18.4.

You can access your passwords from the product's main user interface.

What if you do not use that feature? Will it still be present in the user interface?

 

[franz]

It updated right after the version was released.

F-Secure... One of the only ones I know that listens to its users and improves with each new version... That's why I renewed my license with them for my personal computer!

I never had the DeepGuard problem with Steam, but a friend (we share the license together) already had this problem, and creating exceptions when you have a lot of games, it's long... Hopefully this will be fixed.

By the way, F-Secure will also fix the shark problem on the blocking page in Dark Mode?

Any issues with Steam exceptions is highly recommended contact their support. Extra when that's a specific release note in 18.4.

Glad to report back that yes, both the shark fin graphical issue and even the extension in Firefox was solved with version 18.4. Confirmed:

As upnorth noted above, also Edge and Chrome extensions are now not all black in version 18.4.

Good job F-Secure!

I think the firefox addon will take some time as they have a longer process to approve new updates.

The Add-on Review Process and You

The add-on review process remains a mystery for many add-on developers. As a developer myself, I admit it feels like dropping your add-on into a ...

Nope, not mine. I also have the exact same extension version. Perhaps try re-install it might help.

Spoiler: FF version

Do you use WiseVector StopX with f-secure?

 

[Shadowra]

Do you use WiseVector StopX with f-secure?

Not in real time, only in scan.

Not in real time, only in scan.

Is there any particular reason not to use it in real time?

Useless with F-Secure and Voodooshield
Too much protection kills protection

Useless with F-Secure and Voodoo-shield
Too much protection kills protection

Understand, but without Voodoo-shield would you use it?

Possible yes. It is very good
