F-Secure Corporation is a Finnish security vendor with a 25-year history of development. The company now produces a wide range of consumer products, and recently it's also been expanding into the enterprise market. The firm’s baseline package, F-Secure Anti-Virus, caught our eye immediately with its low £19.95 ($25) one computer, one year licence. This sounded great, until we browsed the feature list, and realised just how short it was. There's no password manager, Wi-Fi protection, banking protection, file shredder, not even browsing protection: it's just antivirus, and that's all. • This kind of simplicity could be an advantage, especially if you're an experienced user and happy to combine F-Secure with your favourite URL filter, firewall and whatever other security packages you need.

The company then sends an email with a confirmation link, and clicking that opens a web page explaining that another email is on the way with a licence key and download link. Our second email arrived almost immediately. There was no licence key, but that seems to be because it's built into the executable name (ours was something like F-SecureNetworkInstaller_74CJ-WC7W-XELE-JLTY-2BP7_.exe). Whatever the reason, the installation was very straightforward, and the program set itself up very quickly and with no hassles or complications. F-Secure Anti-Virus didn't appear to scan our PC during the setup process, but that was easily fixed. We clicked the F-Secure system tray icon, then the virus scan button, and the program then scanned some 15,000 items in under a minute before giving us the all-clear.

Once we were happy, the console could be minimised again and our PC life was able to continue as normal. We browsed the F-Secure program folder, checking basic details like signed files.
