Unlimited Giveaway F-Secure SAFE - 3 Years [for 5 Devices]

[Kaze]

I had the same problem. You have to use the desktop and the browser plugin at the same time.

pointed both to UK Crumpets still having same error. sigh

I was able to use the "Browsec VPN - Free VPN for Chrome" extension set to UK, and then after logging into My F-Secure it worked perfectly a couple of days ago.

Anyone using Comodo Firewall with F-Secure and if so any recommendations?

Yes. Flawlessly. Shut down Comodo’s AV
(Or uninstall it)

How is F-Secure on its own ? Do I need Wisevector for say hips or the firewall?Thks

 

[Anthony Qian]

Big thanks! It works.

does anyone know if I should use fs or norton 360?

thanks

I will not consider using F-Secure until the Avira engine is replaced. DeepGuard is great, but not as powerful as SONAR, not to mention Kaspersky's SW.

I think WV is better than F-Secure overall. You can, however, install both of them, and I believe WV can work alongside F-S.

You can put F-Secure and Wisevector together without worries

Install fs before installing cfw, otherwise fs would not get installed because of conflicting software presence. I had this combination before and it's okay. I had issues with windows fast startup with this combination, I had to turn windows fast startup off to get the maximum network speed. Don't know whether the issue still persists with windows 11. I still don't use fast start up...it's just too much a mess.

Can WiseVector StopX work alongside other security software?​

WiseVector StopX is compatible with most other security software. However, it is not recommended to install multiple AV on the same computer, so as to avoid possible conflicts and high system resource usage. Avast and AVG are incompatible with WiseVector StopX at present.

I connected by the same means, but the result was a failure.

WiseVector is not really an antivirus.....but rather an antimalware
Besides it is marked that on their site that it is possible to put Wise with another antivirus

Decided to see if this would work for me, used Windscribe to register, it worked and I am now running F-Secure with SWH, I was previously running Defender with Configure Defender. Dare I say it, my 10 year old desktop seems a bit faster now, not browsing but for things such as opening large files. I have a 21 GB music folder and it loads instantly. Does anyone know if the Banking Protection actually does anything or is it just an upsell? I'll give this a few weeks to see if its a keeper. Thanks.

The banking protection is actually a very good implementation.
Instead of offering a separate browser (like avast for example), it sandboxes the browser you use once it detects banking or online payment sites, such as paypal.
It is actually one of my favorite aspects of this AV, along with the overall system lightness and fast scans.

No work for me using UK server with Windscribe VPN. I get this error "Create an account - could not complete the registration."

I think I used the 'London Biscuits" server.

Thanks Gangelo for the info.

Doesn't work. Use Windscribe windows app and browser plugin. Connected to London Biscuits and still get the same error message. Register code: CUCBP-ZOBQO-UZFQR-ZBEQM doesnt work either.

Here F-Secure did great:

AVLab.pl - Test of security solutions in blocking attacks on Internet banking

Hi! It's been a while since we did a review of online banking security. Maybe because there is so much work involved, which is very discouraging :) However, here it is - the latest edition. For transparency - not all vendors are included in the report. If they didn't fix bugs in time, we...
