5.  Protecting web browsing

Browsing Protection protects you from web sites that may steal your personal 
information, including credit card numbers, user account information, and 
passwords.

Browsing Protection checks web sites that you browse with Internet Explorer. 
Browsing Protection is turned on automatically after you have activated 
F-Secure Mobile Security if Internet Explorer is set as your default browser. If 
you use any third-party browser, Browsing Protection does not protect your web 
browsing.

1.

In the main view, open 

Browsing Protection

.

2.

In the Browsing Protection menu, select 

Settings

.

3.

, select whether you want to use Browsing Protection all 

the time or only when you are browsing the web on your own operator’s 
network:

 to use Browsing Protection only when you are 

using your own operator’s network.

6.  Keeping the Product Up-to-Date

Automatic 

Updates

F-Secure Mobile Security includes an automatic update service, which means 
that the virus definition database in the application is updated regularly. Only an 
up-to-date virus definition database protects your device against the latest 
viruses. Automatic updates are in use after you have activated the product.

The application requires an active Internet connection for the updates. When a 
connection to the Internet is available, the application checks when the virus 
definition database was last updated and downloads new updates if necessary.

Manual 

Updates

You can also update the application and the virus definition database manually:

Update 

on the main view.

2.

Select 

Yes 

to confirm that you want to retrieve the latest update.

3.

If a new application update is available, select 

Yes

 when you are prompted 

to download it.

4.

When the update is finished, select 

Yes

 to scan your device for viruses. See 

the 

Scanning for Viruses

 section for more information.
