[QUOTE="Nightwalker, post: 915992, member: 23015"] Well you should because this post of yours is one of the biggest misinformation and guesswork that I have ever read on this forum. It is almost infuriating to have to read this kind of *censoring myself* online. Anyway F-Secure IS NOT Avira. F-Secure is just using Avira engine along with its in-house proprietary engines (yes, it is more than one), with their own cloud, interface, scan/disinfection algorithms and its famous pioneer behavior blocker (Deepguard). The transition from Bitdefender (Aquarius) to Avira (Capricorn) engine was made very recently and all of those addition 4 engines existed before this transition and remains without any alteration. F-Secure is one of the few security players using third party engines that actually have security know-how, that actually does properly malware hunting and R&D, it is a solid and trustable company with many years of experience of fighting malware and cybercriminals. Before using Avira it was using Bitdefender engine (just the engine) and many years ago it was using Kaspersky SDK. Did you know that F-Secure was the first antivirus vendor to implement a full rootkit scanner (Black Light)? Did you know that Avira doesnt have anything remotely close to DeepGuard? Btw DeepGuard is incredibly powerful and you should read its whitepaper, better yet you should read F-Secure history too.
