Because, it's not what I bought F-Secure for. Also, that it was never announced their partnership with Amazon, but was discovered by accident and their refusal to let us know how it benefits us, to explain it better than a post from 2 months ago, is a bit off putting for me. As well as maybe the almost 4,000 views that thread has gotten and still without a better response? And that the only way to not be connected with Amazon servers in any way (if that bothers anyone or not) is to totally uninstall F-Secure. Again, F-Secure Mods, employees, just explain it to us. This is where Bitdefender, as well as Kaspersky support shines, employees will actually answer threads of these types of concerns.

They may as well just announce their products as being F-SecureAWS Internet Security, and F-SecureAWS Total ;) :)

Just an update. It looks like in one of the19.5 updates, they resolved the multiple AmazonAWS server connections. They are no longer showing up with or without using a VPN. Previously, my ISP would also show its multiple servers, along with AWS, but not anymore.

Here is a post from this morning confirming that:

We were able to optimize the system on AWS side so that it uses now more passive feed detection to analyse sites. This means that it does not need to make so often DNS queries so leak tests don't usually see them from AWS. We may have to add active analysis back at some point in future, so this may again change then.

But, I understand (from my forum reply post there), if they can use the Amazon AWS service for our benefit, for better online, surfing protection through and by Amazons infrastructure, I'm okay with that. It was just annoying in seeing all those servers previously in my searches. So for now at least for me, out of sight (AWS servers) out of mind :)
