Are you still using it?

Thanks.
Are you still using it?

Apologies, I didn't see this until I saw a member was viewing this thread. Yep, using it on all my devices, 2 laptops and 1 little used tower PC. I just renewed my subscription for Internet Security 2 days ago. So it looks like you all are stuck with me , in continuing to keep this F-Secure forum updated for a while longer

edit: and the next release should be to v26.8, as there wasn't enough changed to warrant a v26.7 beta and release. At least that was my understanding.

MFSGA = MAKE F_SECURE GREAT AGAIN. If I was F-secure I'd hire you @Jonny Quest to do support. Remember when Emsisoft hired Umbra to do support? LOL.

It's a shame there's no free version.
It would have been a great alternative to existing free antivirus programs.

Avast/AVG dominated the free sector. Now it is MD.

Microsoft Defender?
In my opinion Bitdefender Free and Avast/AVG and Avira.
