For the full list of new things available, please refer to the release notes.

Please do note that we have changed the graphics of the user interface elements and we will change them still in the future. So all feedback related to product banners, Launch Pad graphics and block page graphics are not relevant for this release.

RE: [NEWS] F-Secure Internet Security 2014 Beta

After releasing TP88 yesterday we have received multiple reports and also verified an issue related to Internet Explorer browser and the latest Online Safety plugin.

Symptoms:

When using a site which requires a login with Internet Explorer, the login attempt will fail with "Page could not be displayed" error if the Browser plugin is enabled.

Workaround:

Currently the workaround is to use either alternative browser or disable the plugin from Internet Explorer.

Please do note that the browser is still protected even if the Online Safety plugin is disabled.

[NEWS] F-Secure Internet Security 2014 Beta ISTP 89.5

From my Email:

We are releasing a new version of F-Secure Internet Security 2014 Beta today (ISTP 89.5). Reason why this version is not a full ISTP number up, is cause there is no new feature development done on this version, but only bug fixes as this version is now quite close to our final version of Internet Security 2014.

You can find the full list of fixes from the release notes!

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

Best Regards,
F-Secure Beta Piloting Team

RE: [NEWS] F-Secure Internet Security 2014 Beta ISTP 89.5

I have used it and looks similar to 2013 version.
I still have a complain from the product that in av version there is no banking protection and in internet security there is no firewall control,so if I use av with 3rd party firewall there is no banking protection and in IS there is no firewall control and I cant use 3rd party firewall with suite.

Otherwise the product is light and effective as always and their beta version is more usable than some of final versions :p

"Banking mode protection" is so over-rated.

1. Clean PC + Secure connection + Anti-Phishing (browser or security software) = no risk.

Maybe banking protection is not needed when you have personal pc but in other case when the machine is home shared and one cannot scan pc while doing sensitive work everytime (mostly can be scan by hitman pro as its need minutes).But when there is banking protection like avast comodo,user sensitive data might be save even if their infection on pc.

RE: [NEWS] F-Secure Internet Security 2014 Beta ISTP 89.5

Banking Protection doesn't save your PC from infection, all it does it provide a false sense of security where your AV fails to protect, because the end user isn't full aware of Internet threats.

I recall, asking another member if they'd use an infected PC with Banking mode active, their answer was no (2 users). So what does that tell you.

If malware is an issue, maybe switching to a less vulnerable platform, or switching protection to prevent such accidents. Yes, I'd assume this would be a challenging task and something for them to figure out.
