Release 17.8 beta 2 (4.30.3102):
Improved manual scanning window (Scan Wizard):
This beta introduces the new Scan Wizard that offers better support for various display scaling settings and multi-display setups, while retaining the functionality and look-and-feel of the previous Scan Wizard. With the new Scan Wizard, it is also possible to have multiple manual scanning tasks ongoing at the same time (except for multiple parallel scans in the "system scan" phase).
Known limitations of the new Scan Wizard (these will be addressed in future beta releases):
  • Manual scans are not recorded in the Event history ("View recent events").
  • Manual scans do not run properly in situations when the scanning engines are being updated.
Dark blue theme
F-Secure has changed the brand color from cyan to dark blue. The new color is now used also for the fs protection theme.
Fixed issues:
  • Internet Security renewal subscription text updated (PBL-5683)
  • Product upgrade is very slow (PBL-5786)
  • Subscription key in settings should be selectable (PBL-5790)
  • About dialog links don't follow the style (PBL-5821)

One thing I really enjoy with F-Secure and extra much the TOTAL suite, is the possibility to actually choose what part/module I want to install. That automatic makes it much less bloated and I think many other vendors/product could and should do the same.

Will see if they manage to deliver the stable version 17.8 before the end of this year or not.
Will you let us know when version 17.8 is available ? because i have a 1 year license for F-secure Safe ( giveaway till Nov 2020 ) and not using it right now.....
I have tested F-secure safe for about a week , but i had the feeling it slowed down webpages (because of f-secure browser extension ???) or pieces missing on webpages.
thx

I'm using F secure that my ISP provides (for free) and have to say it's one of the best performance products I have ever used!!! it's like nothing is installed!!!

That's how it is for me too. It's right up there compared to ESET in terms of lightness on my machines.

It's worth mentioning that a few users have perceived some web browsing latency/lag, most likely from their web browser filtering plugin. I've personally not noticed this but be on the lookout for it.

Same here. Don't remember I had any problems with it. But I'm only using the stable version.
