Version: F-Secure Anti-Virus 2009
Pros: F-secure is almost as good as the top security software such as Mcafee, Symantec and Trendmicro.Interface looks great with some nice buttons.Detection is very good, able to detect virus, worms, trojans and rootkits.Virus outbeak are very fast with daily updates.Strong realtime protection, it blocked many virus on an infected website.
Cons: Download is really big it's like almost downloading a game and it's way too expensive for an antivirus.

Version: F-Secure Anti-Virus 2009
Pros: It has a nice interface and it seems to have many things integrated (anti-spyware,-spam,-phising) but i just don't like it.
Cons: Too expensive and heavy on system.Also it has a huge installer and the update didn't work as smooth as on other AV products

"Still using it, so it can't be that bad."
Pros: Doen't use many resources even with the full suite. Scans medium fast with multi. scanning options. Supports real-time. Seems pretty solid and through.
Cons: It does have compatiablity issues with some other security software like adaware, but usually this type of program does.

Version: F-Secure Anti-Virus 2009
"Powerful, but not easy to get along with"
Pros: Powerful antivirus, complete with antispyware, antirootkit and HIPS. Your PC is going to be well protected!
Cons: Maybe it's the HIPS component, but this AV conflicted with some apps, particularly with Paragon Drive Backup, which I use to image my hard drive. Other applications took ages to open, and updating my on-demand scanners (I use the free versions of a-squared and Superantispyware) was agonizingly slow. Another problem I had is that my computer had a tendency to freeze whenever I tried to right-click scan with F-Secure. This program also took ages to load at startup. In the end, I decided to uninstall and go for a lighter AV. Everything works OK now.
