F-Secure Online Scanner Review

F-Secure Online Scanner is a simple and lightweight antivirus program, designed to scan your computer in a matter of seconds. It is free to use and is available for all Windows users.

The app is easy to download and install. The software can be used as a standalone product or in conjunction with other security programs.

It uses the latest threat detection engines from ESET to find viruses, worms, Trojans and spyware. It also includes anti-phishing protection and a system to protect your privacy against unwanted data collection.

In addition to scanning, F-Secure Online Scanner can help you disinfect your PC and fix a wide range of problems that may be affecting the performance of your system. It is recommended for anyone who wants to keep their computer clean and free of malware.

Family Rules

Family rules enable you to set screen time limits, restrict access to websites by content type and (on Android and iOS) locate lost or stolen devices. Unfortunately, the program requires device administrator permissions to do these things.

Secure Browsing

The Secure Browsing feature is another important part of F-Secure's security suite, and uses browser extensions to block a number of common threats. It also displays a'reputation rating' icon next to all links and can restrict clicks on them by their reputation.

ID Monitoring

ID Monitoring is a new version of F-Secure's password management tool, but it lacks the form-filling power and configurability of specialist competitors like Avira and Norton. The tool monitors data breaches on the dark web and alerts you if personal details appear in one.
