Thanks for sharing the changelog. Here’s a short summary of what’s new in F‑Secure app 25.11 (Released December 2025):

Native ID monitoring

• ID monitoring is now built directly into the Windows app (no more separate/embedded web implementation).
• This should improve performance and responsiveness.
• Now supports dark mode and better accessibility features (useful for users relying on high contrast or assistive tools).

Scam Protection

• Banking Protection now detects and blocks the RustDesk remote access tool.
• This is relevant because remote access tools are often abused in tech support scams and fraud scenarios.

Bug fixes

• Improved error handling when trying to add only a top‑level domain to the VPN websites bypass UI (gives a special error dialog instead of failing unclearly).
• When using deeplinks to Family Rules, it now correctly shows only the dashboard view.
• VPN debug logging is now consistently enabled across all VPN components when debug logging is turned on.

In short, this update is mostly about better integration of ID monitoring, a security hardening around remote access scams (RustDesk), and a few usability/debugging fixes.

So now F-Secure is an Avira clone but they kept some of their features? I wish they kept the deepguard as it was very effective.

Btw where is @upnorth I have not seen him in a while. I hope that they r OK

The onboard ID Monitoring panel is very nice, nicely done. Is it on par with McAfee, nope, but for how F-Secure does things, it's nice to have it right there, instead of going to the portal.
