F-Secure Total: Test vs Malware and ID Protection (The PC Security Channel)
- Thread starter Kongo
- Start date
It is advised to take all reviews with a grain of salt. In extreme cases some reviews use dramatization for entertainment purposes.

The ID-protection " review " was a bit painful to watch as it didn't showed much, other then the UI. It is still today a software, I believe F-Secure should genuine scrap. It simply exist too many other 100% free password managers that is both much more compatible with more browsers, and even include password strength checkers etc.
Yeah I totally agree. I always found it weird for AVs to bundle password managers. I don't think I'd ever want my password management to be locked together with my AV subscription.
I think F-Secure would benefit from shifting some of their priorities a bit. They're doing well overall on the traditional AV part of protection, but I think the areas where they should look to improve would be either offering network-level protection (IPS/IDS sort of filtering, application control firewall) or strengthening the few but serious gaps in their protection (certain kinds of scriptors and exploiting whitelisted binaries)

good detection against known malware but against unknown malware is another story. I don't really like antiviruses that depend 100% on cloud protection. Too poor Deep Guard performance when you don't have access to the cloud. That is my opinion, Greetings.

True, and personal I would never jump with a vendor where I can't even choose to have that installed or even un-install. That is genuine Bloat.
In this case with ID-protection, it's thankfully at least not enforced down ones throat and one actually manually have to click the specific installation package. It's only available online on the F-Secure account. Same thing with SAFE and the VPN Freedome.
Disables the signature scanning component, disables internet connection so it can't do any cloud look ups, completely cripples the software.

Sorry, but this words will be not elegant: Leo (PC Security Chanel) is an idiot. I was seeing he's videos, and I hold my head. PC Security Chanel videos dose not reflect the truth about some security softwares.

It is the real truth!!! I think, need watch in entirety the Security Softwares. This video was not.

I said it before and I have zero problem say it again. His testing methodology no matter what AV, hasn't really impressed me since the first time I saw him. There's way too many factors he ignores or seems to lack knowledge about. Then on the other hand, the guy would never get much views on videos that is several hours long if he did malware searching and testing like the Hub here on MT.

Yes, it is true, and i know what about you say.
Still use you the F-Secure? And are you satisfied?
