2025-01-27 Bob I cannot give F-Secure any better rating than a three star and that is being kind. Since I started using it, I've three malware attacks that I was able to solved alone. You see, there is absolutely NO customer service / help. The only thing good about it is: (1) it's free (2) better than nothing at all.
2025-01-05 Daymon Doesn't Block Ads Very well. I tested this on a website called can you block it. Fail! Ublock origin blocked everything while this blocked zilch.

2024-11-28 Dieter Die VPN-Verschlüsselung macht das surfen im Internet zu eine Geduldsprobe wie zu Win95-Zeiten. Die meisten Seiten öffnen erst nach der 2. Anforderung. Entweder stellt man VPN so ein, dass die Browser direkt, so wie vorher auch, ins Netz können oder man schaltet es AB. In der heutigen Zeit der Digitalisierung ein no go.
2024-11-22 Fred While this may prevent some virus attacks, it is over kill and also prevents you from getting to some sites that you may need or want. When a site is blocked, they should give you the option of continuing at your own risk. !!!! This would be my last choice for virus protection.
2024-11-04 Thomas You've got to add whatever browser your using in as an extension. eg: Chrome, Microsft Edge. you can do this from the F secure app
2024-10-16 michel Ben oui ! je comprends (un peu ) l'allemand, mais j'ai partout dans cette m..rd.e de PC des milliers de paramétrages en français, et ça ne vient pas . En plus, toutes ces cochonneries d'extensions proposées, indispensables et nécessaires, ou non! et nuisibles ! ou non, on doit les évaluer si c'est un spam un pirate un russe un méchant un pédophile un Weinstein un abuseur de toutes sortes, et à la fin on ne sait pas, et un se dit que Bluewin et Microsoft ce sont des gentils, et on installe ! Et ça va planter, pas par méchanceté, mais par problème interne. Grrrrrrrr : vous pourriez mettre de la IA là-dedans, pour anticiper et voir si ça va ****** ou pas ?
2024-09-15 Zbigniew rozszezenie dziala bez problemu i jest klasa sama w sobie instalacja w jezyku polskim bez problemu na windows 11 w edge dziala rewelacyjnie
2024-08-28 Althea There is a serious problem with F-Secure. It blocked a site that I was using to secure my data. This just started occurring recently. I had to turn the extension off. I going to get a computer brand that I don't have to deal with this.
2024-08-21 lindita Useless stupid extension. Just blocks normal websites and thinks everyone is malicious but them. This app itself is malicious. Uninstall asap
