[QUOTE="bazang, post: 1111288, member: 114717"] Thank you F-Secure and WithSecure are no longer the same companies. Completely different executive leadership and employees. The changes in F-Secure products could be related to this. The extent to which to the two companies share resources or have agreements between them is not clear. The removal of WithSecure modules could be one of the final steps in the complete separation of the two companies. It could also be that WithSecure wants to charge X Euros for its modules, but F-Secure does not want to pay. Whatever the case, both F-Secure and WithSecure are both on shaky financial ground. Ripe for buyout or takeover. The most obvious reason for the switch to Avira is as discussed earlier in this thread - F-Secure moving over to the dark side (using GenDig product) or a takeover by GenDig is in-progress. What will happen now is that F-Secure will not perform any better than Avira. So might as well drop it because Avira ain't so good. At least F-Secure had a protection capability that was better than Avira. F-Secure products are to become Avira with a F-Secure GUI. [/QUOTE]
