[QUOTE="Jonny Quest, post: 1108030, member: 99434"] After reading [URL='https://community.f-secure.com/en/discussion/comment/139055/#Comment_139055'][B]this[/B][/URL], that was exactly the same thought I had. IMO, there are 80% window dressing changes going on (the last couple of versions), changing /renaming UI features, merging features, deleting some links (like to Windows Firewall etc.) is concerning What is also confusing are the product versions here in the US, and the European versions and names in trying to keep track what's going on. Especially with the ISP versions, that get mixed into the forum. The protection is good, the stability is good, the lack of running processes and at times the low RAM is good (for some, that doesn't matter, but for me it does), very good web protection but TrafficlLights ratings are much better. I submitted a site yesterday that if you do a Speccy search, not all of the search results show as being rated yet (TrafficLight, they are). I've submitted about 4-5 sites so far in the last 3 - 4 months, really F-Secure? [ATTACH alt="speccy ratings.jpg"]286268[/ATTACH] I am not a flaming fanboy of F-Secure in this regard: 1) Can we finally come up with a resolve for the FP's issue they've had for ~10 years? 2) Can we figure out the VPN connection problem that's been going on since April without having to disable [URL='https://community.f-secure.com/en/discussion/comment/136839/#Comment_136839'][B]Kyber support[/B][/URL], the workarounds (still "under investigation") without resolution?! 3) Can you get a VPN where you don't have to open the app to enable, disable it or it's settings, at least a system try icon?

Granted, if you're online, that isn't really an issue, but I find it a little embarrassing that it happens.

Trying to figure them out, and where they're heading or what they're going to do next, its like trying to nail Jell-O to a wall. So yes, I'm kind of where you're at as far as making a change (Avast/Avira free?), but my subscriptions are good through May of 2025, so I may just go for the ride and see where it ends up by that time.
