@been it's beta - and fileforum has the paid status wrong..
Now to review the product!!!
It's a lot leaner than the previous version, and seems to detect a lot more malware. Unfortunately it still uses a lot of system resources.
Not bad for a beta though, room for improvement.
Would rate 3 but to boost from an apparent non tested review will rate 5.

180 day timeout isn't freeware

Alongside the modules offered by F-Secure Internet Security 2010 there are others that should be taken into account. For example the Gamer Mode module offered by BitDefender Internet Security 2009 which provides you maxim of security when playing games. I personally use it and has never disappointed me. Try it and you'll be satisfied too. Very soon will appear an improved version of 2009!

F-Secure does not score anywhere near the top.
I used this back in the day but have since moved on to other products. This program let various different adware and virus infections through undetected which others caught the second they were installed or run from USB Media.
They seem to be improving in the detection rate but are still missing some common infections (any of the .cih variants).

Some schools use this junk security program what slows down entire PC because F-Secure is badly built ( to many processes , update failures , no version changelog or anything , a lot of viruses get pass the protection and some normal programs get marked as viruses ) recommended to AVOID this!!!

The good:
Very good detection rate.
Very powerful Proactive Protection.
Deep disinfection.
The bad:
Heavy.
Self-Defense is only average.
No whitelist present.

Terrible. I really wanted 2009 to be better (since it took them years to add Vista 64-bit support...) But this is not good enough by far.
If, and I mean IF, you get it to install properly you'll be a bit disappointed. Especially if you bought this.
The firewall comes with almost no preconfigured application controls for modern Windows (not even some Windows services!) so you have to set those rules. By yourself. It's 2008, F-secure. No excuses for this. To make matters worse the firewall isn't actually very good. It's .. adequate. Or "average", if you're nice, in leak tests. Alarmingly it's incredibly easy for you and malware to turn off the whole security package. This will hopefully be fixed, it smells like a bug.
What malware it will find (about average detection rate) is a pain to remove and you almost always need a 3rd party tool to remove them.
Anti-virus is ok, but for some reason gets a 6% pro-active detection rate in the latest AV-comparatives (for FIS2008, but the engine and base files are the same)! SIX PERCENT. Din't even get a Standard rating, which is terrible.
Spam filter works fine, though I don't really need that.
It's not even cheap.
Avoid.

2006 version has backweb. Although fsecure claim this is safe, it purposely monitors key strokes and mouse movements, and application usage. Fsecure claim this is so the AV doesn't interupt you, but this is clearly a lie as Windows manages the screensaver without backweb, as do third party applications. MS provide APIs for this functionality, so FSecures programmers cannot be up to the standard they claim; I wonder how poor the coding is in the rest of the application. Sloppy standards in one area often indicate poor work elsewhere.

>Does it still come with the Backweb crap?
Yes, but it is now called the Automatic Update Agent, and without this "crap" the anti-virus wouldnt get updated so it essential.
Excellent peice of kit this, very recommended and easy to use, and the UK support desk is excellent! (which makes a nice change....!)
