From the March 17, 2008 issue of CRN
F-Secure Corp.'s Internet Security 2008 includes everything necessary to secure a PC. Antivirus? Present. Antispyware? Check. Firewall? Looking great. Antiphishing, antispam and parental controls? Yes, yes and yes. It even has a free trial version of F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus for Windows Mobile and other phones.

The combined antivirus and antispyware components scan files on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. It can also scan whenever the PC has been idle for a specified time, allowing more frequent scans for high-risk systems. Internet Security 2008 can disinfect, quarantine or delete infected files and spyware.

The Ingredients:

Product: F-Secure Internet Security 2008

Price: $59.99

Warranty/Support: 12-month subscription; automatic daily updates

Company: F-Secure Corp.
San Jose, Calif.

The software CD, which doubles as both an installation CD and a scanner, connects with the F-Secure site, downloads the virus database and scans the local machine without installing the software. This is a very handy way to clean and repair an unknown or unstable system. The CD's antivirus scanner checked the entire test system (clean) at the CRN Test Center—more than 55,600 files in less than 30 minutes.

F-Secure leverages its DeepGuard technology using behavior analysis to kill all dangerous processes automatically and immediately. If a process is ambiguous, a pop-up box asks users to identify the program, which means that the malware will get zapped if it tries to execute.

Nothing happened when installing malware executables, which was perplexing until a look at the logs revealed that Internet Security 2008 prevented them from launching at all. There was no notification that the movie file was actually a Trojan in disguise.

The desktop firewall automatically configures recognized applications, such as Firefox, and displays a prompt only for unknown applications.

System builders can sell an OEM version with new computers. Internet Security 2008 can be installed and preconfigured prior to the sale.
