Very suitable especially for beginners - with very good protection

I for many years already used antivirus programs. Already in the 90's I had Norton AntiVirus uses, and then the software my pc very ausbremste in performance. That's why I used the meantime several other anti-virus programs. Avira, Comodo, Kaspersky, McAfee, by some I can not remember even the names. Kaspersky and Avira, I then used the premium versions, but the bottom line was not very enthusiastic. Avira hats but then the longest (3 years) endured to date with me until the software stops working properly and had to reinstall my PC no longer adequately protected. After that I then short the free version of Comodo but was used to test a total of not really satisfied because the program was not only intrusive but commanded no 100% protection.

Since 2 years, I now already use Norton Internet Security and was to date also really pleased. My PC (Windows 7) runs smoothly and cause a performance drop at least not noticed despite any other specifications according to any test reports noticeably with me. However, I read in a review that Norton did not provide perfect results at check in a long-term test, but what unsettled me. Since the F-Secure Internet Securiy safe Edition offered to test that achieved 100% detection of threats in AV-Test, I was very interested. After you reinstall the all-clear after all: It was discovered no new threat, ever calm. ; O)

It is striking that no remarkable reduction in performance stands out on the PC. Although According to test reports to a minimum reduction to be there, but as I said I had not noticed, and I only a graphics editing program, 2 Internet browser, Office, an audio editing program, a mail browser, a photo album program and a burning program running have on my PC. So the usual average without great power guzzlers. Since I have 8 GB of RAM, which falls in any case not immediately. It is possible that PCs with less memory might remember what, but what I can not judge.

The operation is basically very simple, with a very good operating instructions with at that really explains all the points easy to understand. The user interface is self-explanatory or even almost after the motto Learning by doing useful. I (classical Amateuer - neither professional PC / IT expert even a complete beginner / novice) am so really got along well.

As with the Norton Internet Security threat levels are displayed with the search results also so that you will equal warned to visit a malicious page.

The online banking function was also not tested by me, because I do not have online banking. As I have noticed, however (have informed me specially times of the software also used in online banking and someone has), the protection is automatically activated as soon as you call a bank website.

As an advantage, I also think that the license period you (this version is for 2 years) after initial issue equal to up to 3 years old can set, which minimizes the total cost of the time.

Noticed also positive that when a virus check, the PC performance is hardly slowed down noticeably, which in some competitors unfortunately is the case.

Who just a simple user-friendly antivirus program needs, and no online banking, smart and has children, is also very well served by the F-Secure Anti Virus problem. Once but is only one component to the Internet Security (children, online banking) or SAFE is worthwhile in all cases (Smartphone) version, as they provide additional and useful services.

In this exclusive version, there is the "Freedome" function on top. This means in plain language that you can virtually anonymous surfing the Internet, is although previously noted that one should do anything illegal. However, in order to escape the trackers from Google and Co which is a good variant. In addition, you can thus watch content on foreign websites, which were otherwise only provided the certain country.

Even as a note at the end, because I myself was already affected them: Stay away from free antivirus, according to recent tests provide even the best free versions not provide 100% protection. Although there are other very good (payed AV programs), but with F-Secure 100% protection is also at least if you believe the many recent test results, guaranteed.

Therefore, I just buy it, especially for beginners who do not want too much to deal with the matter itself.
