I used a fresh clean virtual machine like in all my test'sIf i understand you correctly then the Randsomware did lock your system right? And F-Secure did not stop it?
Question: Did you install F-Secure on the test machine with those test viruses active (Install on infected OS?)
Because F-Secure did always have a problem with pre-infected systems.
Also i would like to know the specific Randsomware that managed to lock your system.
Because there are some R-Wares out there that can actually bypass any AV locally but more importantly they also bypass the firewall and web filtering modules.
So if you used one of those R-Wares in your test then the result would be negative by default and this would not due to the performance of F-Secure resident and web filtering module.
In regards to F-Secures slow removal, this is due the fact it creates a snapshot and a restore point.
The aim is to compare the snap shots in order to determine if the malware has been removed properly and this takes some time depending on your machine itself.
A colleague of mine uses F-Secure on all his systems and he is VERY pleased with its performance and specially its detection and zeroday protection and he showed me several times how well rounded F-Secure is.
And judging from the test data i have seen it does exactly, what is claims to do. Which is good for the client user obviously.
Personally i would not use it because i am happy with the current AV solution that we are running at home and at our company.
But for those who look for a no-nonsense AV program you could do much worse then F-Secure and i would personally regard it as one of the very best in its class.

Ransomware can be pretty scary, and some of the variants out there can be extremely difficult to detect, remove or block.Incredible,Ransomware!!??
Well they use to have a weakness for some web based exploits that could inject certain malware past the systems security.i am not surprised that f secure did not caught the ransomeware. F secure has weakness for it.
Still i use F secure.
Your welcome!Hi,Hello Greeting,
For the Ramsomware, within your test, please use Hitman Pro with Kickstart. I would like to see if, Hitman Pro with Kickstart can remove various-es Ramsomware. This will help them improve their software. Also,I would like to see in your tests for Rootkits Removal with Malwarebytes Anti-rootkits and PCHunter use. To see,if it the software can remove these Rootkits. Many many thanks!
