F-Secure Safe 2015 for Mac

F-Secure Internet Security 2015 for Mac is a comprehensive security package that can protect you from all kinds of viruses and malware, as well as scan your computer to remove dangerous programs. With this system in place, you won't have to worry about the safety of the sites you visit.

Pros

Safe Search: The Safe Search feature lets you perform an online search in Google just as you would normally. But when you use this special interface, you can be sure that all search results presented are safe to click on, no matter what you're searching for.

Browsing protection: There are quite a few options for configuring browser protection through this app. You can add certain sites to a Safe List, block all traffic, and turn browsing protection on and off at will.

Complete security: The various tools contained in this software package protect you against just about every type of threat you'll encounter online. It can seek out and eliminate all kinds of malware and viruses, and it also works to thwart hacker attacks and identity theft.

Cons

Long scan times: When you install the program initially, you'll probably want to scan your computer to see if there are any existing threats to your system. These initial scans can take quite a long time, even upwards of 10 hours, and the timer on the progress bar is not terribly accurate.

Bottom Line

F-Secure protects your computer from all kinds of outside threats, so you can surf the Web without worry. Its comprehensive set of tools addresses all types of possible threats to your system and private information, and while the security scans can take a long time, you really don't have to do a full scan very often once the program is in place. A 12-month license for one device costs $49.99, and a 24-month license is $84.99, with various other pricing options available if you'd like to install the program on multiple devices.
