And we have a new build ... R49.5 version of F-Secure Internet Security Technology Preview.

We will release today, Wednesday the 21st of December, a new R49.5 version of F-Secure Internet Security Technology Preview.

This upgrade has only a couple of important bug fixes as well as the support for Bulgarian language.

Several of you have reported about F-Secure DLL Hoster crashes. Those crashes have caused some slowness issues as well as some other side effects. This is now fixed in the ISTP 49.5 release.

If you encounter any problems with this release, please report them through https://beta.f-secure.com/ as soon as possible.

We also would like to send our Christmas greetings all our users out there around the world - Merry Christmas and happy new year 2012!

Yours,
F-Secure Beta Piloting Team

Thanks for the testing Jack, are you still using F-secure and would you recommend it right now for great AV and firewall protection with a minimal impact on performance??

Hello,

This year's first Internet Security Technology Preview release, ISTP 51, will be released today, January 12th, 2012! As usual, it will be delivered as an automatic channel upgrade.

In this release we have concentrated mainly on bug fixing as well as "under the hood" development. In addition to that, we have removed some of the categories in the Web Page Filter as well as added some others.

Our Bulgarian users also will benefit of our Bulgarian localization - but to have that, you will need to remove the existing installation and start with a fresh installer, as the upgrades will be installed always in that language the product was originally installed.

If you encounter any problems with this release, please report them through https://beta.f-secure.com/ as soon as possible.

Yours,
F-Secure Beta Piloting Team

We will push out the Internet Security Technology Preview version 52 today!

This ISTP 52 release is a bug-fix release. No new features included in this release.

If you have reported bugs about earlier versions of the product, please could you recheck your issues with this latest release and let us know if those still occur.

As usual, if you encounter any problems with this release, please report them through https://beta.f-secure.com/ as soon as possible.

Yours,
F-Secure Beta Piloting Team

We will push out the Internet Security Technology Preview version 53 today!

This ISTP 53 release is again a bug-fix release. No new features included in this release. This version will upgrade only the Computer Security part, i.e. Online Safety application will remain on the same level as it was in the ISTP version 52.

We know that many of you use Mozilla Firefox version 10. Unfortunately we were not able to squeeze the support for it into this release yet, but it is certainly a known issue here and we'll release Firefox 10 support as soon as possible.

As usual, if you encounter any problems with this release, please report them through https://beta.f-secure.com/ as soon as possible.

Yours,
F-Secure Beta Piloting Team

We will be releasing a Internet Security Technology Preview version 54 today!

This version is introducing a new feature called Child Whitelist which is a backend based whitelist for URLs which are safe for children. There would be few test cases we would like you to try out:
- Enable the Child Whitelist feature and see if the whitelisted URLs are allowed and non-whitelisted URLs are blocked
- Clicking the web filter button on the browser plugin to see if the Child Whitelist feature can be properly turned on and off
- Trying out the Child Whitelist feature together with other Online Safety features such as Timelock, Allowed/Denied list).

Also, try out any possible combinations with this new feature you can think of! The list of predefined whitelisted URLs can be found at beta.f-secure.com under the resources section.

This build will also support the Windows 8 Consumer Preview when it becomes available from Microsoft. No other builds of Windows 8 are supported at this time, and F-Secure will not provide any further information about Windows 8 at this point in time

And needless to say, if you encounter any bugs or issues with this release, please report those through https://beta.f-secure.com as soon as possible.

Yours,
F-Secure Beta Piloting Team
