It is advised to take all reviews with a grain of salt. In extreme cases some reviews use dramatization for entertainment purposes.

I didn't realize that F-Secure was now in control of SaferPass, which is the foundation password manager of Eset, Panda? and the previous BD Password Manager. I wonder if they'll ever try to incorporate into into Total, or just continue to sell it as a stand alone app? The onboard Total Password Vault app and browser extension do not look like and function like SaferPass.


From Brave Leo:
F-Secure did not acquire SaferPass; Lookout, Inc. acquired SaferPass on June 1, 2022.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Lookout's Acquisition:
On June 1, 2022, Lookout, a provider of endpoint and cloud security solutions, announced the acquisition of SaferPass, a password management company.
SaferPass's Functionality:
SaferPass provides secure online identity solutions for both consumers and businesses, offering an encrypted digital vault for storing login information.
F-Secure's Demerger:
On February 17, 2022, F-Secure announced a demerger of its corporate and consumer businesses, with the consumer security business being transferred to a new independent company, F-Secure Corporation.
F-Secure and Lookout:
Lookout's consumer business is now part of F-Secure.

Its always like that, thread take overs are normal now a days.
It is ridiculous to think that any thread on any forum anywhere in the www is going to stay on-topic.

This is social media. It should never be expected to stay "On Topic."

Hello @Shadowra in your description, you mention this:
Surprisingly, network traffic analysis via PowerShell is not enabled... as the editor leaves it disabled, I don't activate it.

I don't understand, is there a setting to enable analysis via PowerShell, as you mentioned they leave it disabled?
TIA :)

Error when copying and pasting an old test, I can't modify it...
Disregard ;)

And ever since the release of v25.2 (into 25.3) the forum response by the Mods and employees of F-Secure has become less and less frequent. Now including about 3 separate threads of FP's which are "buried" in the Device Protection sub-forum.

Part of AV-Comparatives bumping F-Secure down in the rating was due to FP's that many of us never experienced in the past with previous versions, i.e. v19.
I don't know if it's just me, but about 1 month ago the forum home page (English) was replaced with Top Posts, which are all generic articles, it used to show all of the current questions by members. You now have to click the Answered Topics or Newest Question links to open those.
