Hi,

I have a subscription to F-Secure.
It's worth using it, or should I stay with Defender?
On Android, I see that it doesn't really provide more serious protection.
It provides protection only with your own protected browser.
There is no SMS protection, for example.
I think it's better to use something else on Android?

Regards

My quick overview post (somewhat) of F-Secure. The browsing protection has been great, that along with uBlock.

As far as Android, I agree, there isn't much there. I have Total installed on my phone and will probably leave it, as I hardly ever use my phone but only to make and receive calls, take a photo or two, and text family and friends. It's been glitch free, but I'm sure there are better options than the IS version for the more intense phone user.

edit: and F-Secure seems to be in a little of a melt down mode, regarding their now only having IS and Total Security, and some of the blowback regrading the VPN switch to Total. As well as their inability from their end to truly explain to their customers the benefits of the inclusion of AWS, including this post from yesterday.
