[QUOTE="Shadowra, post: 1077467, member: 92939"] F-Secure is a Finnish publisher, well known in the world of IT security. Formerly based on the Bitdefender engine and on the Avira engine for several years now (in addition to their own engines), the company continues to innovate and improve its flagship antivirus products. On the program for this 2024 edition, the publisher is focusing on the Cloud and on its DeepGuard behavioral solution to better protect users. Let's take a look at what F-Secure has in store for us... [MEDIA=odysee]id=72cf41830998654ba574579cca5d06e2420fbb0c;name=F-Secure-TOTAL-2024;path=%40Shadowra%3Af%2FF-Secure-TOTAL-2024%3A7[/MEDIA] [U][B]User interface :[/B][/U] F-Secure's interface remains the same, so the publisher has made it necessary to provide several explanations before accessing the modules. I appreciate this, as it helps to explain things properly to novices. You feel taken by the hand, which may annoy geeks... F-Secure has also modified its software range. The VPN formerly known as Freedom is now included in the antivirus (only in the TOTAL version), as is ID Protection, their password manager. [U][B]Web protection: [COLOR=rgb(97, 189, 109)]10/10[/COLOR][/B][/U] F-Secure provides us with excellent web protection that is effective, consistent and intelligent. He even used his anti-attack shield on one page! This can happen if the software recognizes an IP address known for Botnet purposes, F-Secure will directly block the source. Ingenious! [B][U]Fake crack : [COLOR=rgb(97, 189, 109)]0,80/1[/COLOR][/U][/B] F-Secure blocked everything except a Bitcoin script using rundll32.exe, but then disappeared. I gave it 0.20 points. [U][B]Malware Pack : [COLOR=rgb(97, 189, 109)]Remaining 22 out of 648 threats.[/COLOR][/B][/U] F-Secure provides a good antimalware engine. Even if the scan fails to remove everything, the interceptor catches up behind. Overall, F-Secure put up a good fight thanks to DeepGuard . In the end, the machine is certainly infected (the NetOptimiser launched malware via unresponsive PowerShell commands, as well as the presence of the AlteraAgent remote control software), but it can be disinfected without any problem. Final scan : F-Secure : 0 NPE : 0 KVRT : 3-1=2 (I ignore a file that is a false positive) => Infection memory [U][B]Final opinion:[/B][/U] All in all, F-Secure provides very good anti-malware and Web protection. DeepGuard is highly effective, although not infallible, given that the machine was infected by 2 pieces of malware at the end of the test (AlteraAgent and a memory infection). Nevertheless, the machine can be disinfected easily and without problems. Apart from these 2 threats, F-Secure proves its reliability, consistency and efficiency. Recommendable. [/QUOTE]
