"Uses too much system resources"
Version: F-Secure Anti-Virus 2011
Pros
It scores highly in independent tests
Cons
Slows down browser. Uses too much system resources, it had the cooling fan on full time on my laptop; windows XP3 Pro 1 GB ram. It uses too many separate processes.
Summary
I removed it after 1 hour of a free 30 day trial and went back to Avira free

"CANNOT BE TRUSTED"
Version: F-Secure Anti-Virus 2011
Pros
WORKED IN BASIC WAY
Cons
WOULD NOT REMOVE CERTAIN VIRUSES ADVISED YOU REMOVE THEN MANUALLY WITHOUT CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS-IS'NT THIS WAY YOU BUY ANTIVIRUS
Summary
PURCHASED THE F SECURE ON LINE FOR 1 YEAR.( THE 3RD YEAR I'D BOUGHT IT)
20 DAYS FROM THE RENEWAL DATE THEY STOPPED THE ANTIVIRUS PROTECTION.
I CONTACTED THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICES FOR A REFUND BUT THEY REFUSED,BUT OFFERED ME 90 DAYS EXTRA ON RENEWAL OR DO THEY MEAN 60 DAYS REALLY?
THE PROTECTION ITSELF WAS A BIT LIMITED ,NOW I'M USING MC.AFFEE WHICH SEEMS A LOT BETTER. -
"Good AV, I suggest use the F-SECURE IS 2011"
Version: F-Secure Anti-Virus 2011
Pros
1. Great interface
2. Good detection rateCons
1. Slow boot time(my specs: Intel i3, 2gb or RAM, nvidia gt325m cuda, windows 7 pro genuine, 320gb HDD)
Summary
The bottom line is, get the IS because IS has full protection capability. The only CONS in this product is the boot time increase.

"used for 1.5 years. No virus No Problems It works well."
Version: F-Secure Anti-Virus 2010
Pros
It seems to do the job well. If I haven't gotten any viruses, it MUST BE GOOD !
Cons
It isn't FREE. But, good stuff USUALLY isn't....although I've got some VERY GOOD "free" programs, also.
Summary
I don't know enough about computers to give any "detail". It is easy to use and apparently does the job well. No viruses in One and a Half years. Who's to argue with SUCCESS ???

"Its a crap !"
Version: F-Secure Anti-Virus 2010
Pros
It has some good interface and icons !
Cons
Does not fit well in my system and takes a lot of space.
Summary
Dont install this product ! I have tried this and got my system crashed in few hours.
It has disabled my internet connection (LAN) and whatever i tried to restore it back, did not work. Finally i have installed a fresh XP OS and removed this ****.
Also i found that it consumes a lot of disk space.
So i would never recommend this product to anyone.
Now iam using Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 and found it to be damn good. -

"it does the job"
Version: F-Secure Anti-Virus 2009
Pros
It is a reasonable anti virus.The interface is plain but easy to use.I
Cons
The bootup and shutdown speed are quite long as so are the scans.The interface will not win any art prizes.It lets a few minor nasties through which superantispyware deals with.The firwall is quite weak and should at least be two way.
Summary
It does the job but is quite expensive.It needs a better firewall.I think the anti spy and malware needs to be beefed up.I think there are better solutions out there.

"It has been working good."
Version: F-Secure Anti-Virus 2009
Pros
This is a pretty good anti-virus program, although.. I personally like Sophos better. It has been working stable and it's easy to use.
Cons
This is bad product in comparison to what other companys can offer today year 2009. If you buy it you will get dissipointed.
Summary
Well... It's easy to use, it works, it is a serious product but it get badly beaten up by the competition from other companys in my opinion. You'll be better off with Sophos.

"Terrible!!"
Version: F-Secure Anti-Virus 2009
Pros
What's there to like about this?
Cons
This anti-virus software is totally messed up. It slows down your system and consumes great amounts of system resources. The scanner just gets stuck at like 52349 forever and takes quite a while to scan.
Summary
Maybe it's just not for Windows Vista, or it's not for anyone.

"Fast, easy to use and safe."
Version: F-Secure Anti-Virus 2009
Pros
I prefere F-Secure Internet Security 2009 because it integrates all security features I need: anti spam, anti spyware, anti phishing, anti virus, firewall, child-proof lock. It makes protection easy and understandable. Last but not least: it's fast!
Cons
Some of the messages have wrong translations. It is funny to read, but not very professional.
Summary
I use the child-proof lock even though I have no children. It is well-known that sex pages are infected with malware very often - that's why I try not to lose my way and enter such a site. So, it's good to protect children, but also to protect adults. The setup of this program is very easy: while using my pc I have been asked when a program tried to enter the internet. After I approved which program I know and which I don't wont to go online F-Secure Internet Security 2009 functions in the background. There was no complicated setup wizard nor need to read a manual. All in all this security suite is discreet, doesn't slow down my pc and understandable. That's why I never want to use different security programs anymore. One for all is comfortable and more secure, because the security features are more integrated.
