Last week, i believe wednesday, the whole net crashed because of f-secure,

 

my brother uninstalled it, net worked, installed it, it didn't work, this continued for hours until we finally found some program to help us.

 

 

 

Now thursday(sp? i've forgot since not been using for years :P) *brother went back home wednesday eve* the internet started cranking, thanks f-secure it goes out every hour at the same time everyday.

 

 

 

I know i'm not the only one with this, one relative and some other people have had same problem. anyone know a cure?

I currently have F-Secure Internet Security '08 on this machine and '07 before that. Never had an issue or even heard of this one before. :?

Im from Finland and so is F-Secure, and i would just want to make a little statement; GET F-SECURE THE H*LL OFF YOUR COMPUTER AND GET SOME GOOD AND WORKING ANTIVIRUS/FIREWALL SOFTWARE!!!

Care to explain why?

What does being from Finland have to do anything?

 

 

 

and maybe suggest a good and working antivirus/firewall?

 

 

 

I use Mcafee SecurityCenter 08

 

 

 

Never had a problem

Yeh, I've been thinking of getting Avast! instead of this, just need sister to come here :roll: since i'm a newbie in computer stoof

Weird problem, never heard anything like this with any anti virus program.

 

I'm using Panda so i can't really help you, but have you thought of emailing or posting and F-securities forum?

 

 

 

This problem seems very strange to me, the only thing i had to do with my AV was to accept program X to connect to the net.

 

Hmm, i would suggest you try AVG or Avast! For a couple of days (disable or uninstall F) and see if the problem still remains. If it does remain, there is something very strange going on which i couldnt explain.

 

If it works perfectly to surf with one of those AV's installed, then it could be a bug...

 

 

 

This is the only thing i can think of.

alright, thanks.

Id say get NOD32...

You sure you aren't Swedish?

 

 

 

I moved to F-secure from Norton this year and have been incredibly impressed by the speed of scanning, the accurate detection of any problems and the frequent alerts and updates on their official site keeping me updated.

NOD32 is not a firewall, only antivirus.

And yeah, F-Secure have impressed me as well.

my relative has 2 computers, other has f-secure, other avast, and the avast computer doesn't disconnect him from net, although it's pretty much worse comp than the better with f-secure.

:lol:

 

 

I HAVE LIVED IN FINLAND FOR HALF OF MY LIFE AND I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH F-SECURE SO IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY UPGRADE TO F-SECURE '08 AND IN THE MEAN TIME USE AVG!!!!!!!!!!1!11![/n00biness]

 

 

 

*Ahem.*

 

 

 

We currently have F-secure running on 3 computers. We have never had a problem, and F-secure has saved our computer at least 100 times (Remember, PCs are hacked within minutes of going online) and we have only had a problem with Norton Antivirus. Lovetofly, make sure you get your facts from a good source next time, and then, step 2, actually state them.

Impressed with Norton? :wall:

 

 

 

I'd say, if you like suites, get Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0. It is the best currently in the market. If you want a good free one, download antivir or Avg, though avg is not the best.

 

 

 

McAfee, Norton, Avast are right at the bottom of the list. They're part of the worst antiviruses. Although I have heard Avast is willing to improve their product. I have never heard of F-secure so I can't help here.

 

 

 

NOD32 is the way to go if you only want an antivirus.

McAfee Security Suite is ranked #2

LOL! I have used an antivirus/firewall/spyware protector program two separate times since I first started the Internet in 1995. First time was around 1996, when it Norton killed a computer. Second time was about three years ago, when I first had high speed and I thought I needed it. Lasted about 3 weeks before I got rid of it. I haven't had any problems with being "hacked" since then. I don't see how you talk about getting your "facts" from a good source, and say something like what I bolded in your post in the same post.

He's actually somewhat correct. Prior to XP SP2, Windows machines plugged into the internet without some kind of router or firewall between them and the outside world could literally be infected in minutes because of all the security holes. SP2 and later updates have made that a much smaller problem but that still doesn't mean you get to shoot him down just because you haven't experienced it. He is correct, just slightly late to the party.

NOD32 and Outpost firewall, nothing beats that.

wow, it's going better and better, now it says error and has cross on it... lawl!

 

but when i go to it, it says everything is OK...

 

 

 

Haha.... this is gonna be fun.

I can understand some of the complaints though; the F-secure install takes some 200mb of disk space and about 80,000k of RAM while running. :? I still have the CD but will never install it back again, last used it in 2005.

 

 

 

There's plenty of effective and working firewalls & antiviruses that don't hog space on your HD or steal ridiculous amounts of RAM. Outpost firewall+ad-aware+AVG antivirus=free protection from pretty much anything.

I currently have only ad-aware of those you mentioned, i will look into it..

 

 

 

E: just checked when f-secure updates... It updates every hour, and when it updates, the net crashes, that's the problem.
