The web protection is just extension you have to install, only paid version doesnt require extension
F-Secure vs Avira vs Emsisoft?

The protection is great, but the FP's have been an issue with F-Secure for years, especially when tracking the AV-Comparative's reports. In the previous report I believe they had mentioned that none of the FP's were detrimental, nothing was compromised, as with this report, also.

I appreciate popup information from my security apps, I want to know what's happening, It was my initial attraction to VoodooShield but for average users FP's are too alarming/annoying, unfortunately.

I agree, and they, the average user, wouldn't know what to do with it, in allowing it or not.
Im happy with f-secure... No intrusive advertising or alleged tuning utilities.
I'm still considering whether a "premium" firewall in combination with f-secure is worth it. Have you had any experience with this? Comodo or something similar?

? online protection rate FS = 99.91% | Defender 99.95% but less false positives, although I had very few (perhaps 0) false positives with FS during the past year.

False positives are not a problem for me. I can say as simmerskool, I had very few (perhaps 0) false positives with FS during the past year.

Yes, it's nice, one-and-done ad setting.
WFC may be something to consider. I'm just using Windows firewall.
Question - Windows Firewall Control beginner questions
Hi, In the WFC user guide on page 24 it states: This minimal set of rules contain only a few outbound and inbound rules. When only these rules are used, some of the features of the operating system may not work unless other required rules are added. This is a minimal set of firewall rules...

Thanks Jonny. I'm currently testing glasswire, it looks nice but I'm not sure yet whether I want to pay for it...

we can agree to disagree about FP with F-Secure & with VS/CL. I rarely got FP with either, when I hear about reports FP with VS I always wonder how that reporter has VS configured (or misunderstands) as I rarely see any FP with VS (no offense intended).
Sentry BB came from Bullguard is that correct?Mostly agree but Avira's Sentry BB is not bad. Personally, I find it interesting to observe the detection name given by Sentry BB, as it is often very specific and can indicate the reason for a detection being triggered. Also, Sentry can revert any modifications made by a threat, which is currently unavailable in F-Secure's DeepGuard (Home version)...

oh fr!?!
I remember in the past, the free version only get 1 update per day while the paid versions get multiple updates per day.
I guess they had changed that a few years ago?
Avira antivirus now has protection against zero day threats??

Avira has a behaviour blocker, but I am pretty certain that it isn't that effective
The Free version has Sentry and APC, so yeah, it has decent protection against zero day threats.
