With the driver running, downloading a malicious file in Chrome resulted in a 'Failed - Downloading error' warning afterwards, it downloaded without any issues.

Then, though, we delivered a major blow by unloading one of F-Secure's key drivers with a standard Windows tool, breaking the ability to detect malicious files as they're written to disk. Had this damaged our protection? It was hard to tell.

Malware often tries to disable any security tools it detects, so it's important that a product can defend itself.į-Secure Anti-Virus started uncertainly, as we were able to close and disable some services, but not others. We're not just interested in the size of an antivirus package we test how well it protects its installation from attack, too. AV-Comparatives' October 2020 Performance Test placed F-Secure in first place out of 17 for its minimal system impact. Was this a problem with our testing procedure, we wondered? Maybe not. We ran the top Windows benchmark PCMark Professional before and after installing F-Secure Anti-Virus, hoping to detect any impact on speed, but the difference was tiny, within the margin of error we'd expect from running the test a couple of times. The antivirus made average use of system resources for a starter product, grabbing around 500MB of storage space, and adding six background processes to our PC.

Trying out F-Secure Anti-Virus is easy, with a free trial download on the site, and a simple installer which set up our system within a couple of minutes. That's not bad, but Norton 360 Deluxe offers antivirus, dark web monitoring, 50GB of cloud backup space and an unlimited VPN for $40 in year one, $105 on renewal (that's to cover five devices.)Īlternatively, although Avira Prime doesn't have dark web monitoring, it gets you antivirus, VPN and a bunch of other maintenance and security tools for only $100 a year, or $9 a month to try it out. Prices jump to $90 to cover up to three devices for a year, or $110 to cover five. Norton 360 Deluxe does much the same, but F-Secure claims to have some advantages, in particular by using 'a combination of human intelligence and Dark Web monitoring to recover breach data up to 6 months faster.' F-Secure monitors the web for signs of your personal information being leaked in a breach, and raises an alert if anything appears. ID PROTECTION still includes a password manager, but you now also get dark web monitoring. It's broadly comparable to other security suites, although might feel more expensive as you don't have quite as many features.į-Secure Total is essentially F-Secure SAFE with unrestricted access to F-Secure's Freedome VPN, and F-Secure ID PROTECTION, the replacement for the company's KEY password manager. Pricing is fair, with a three device, one-year license costing an initial $35, then $70 on renewal, and more savings available as you add devices and years. That's good news, but it's still missing some of the features you might expect from an internet security suite, such as a firewall, spam filter or password manager.
