New Features
New features since release of F-Secure Client Security 8.01 include:
-
Windows 7 support
The product can be natively installed on Windows 7.
-
New user interface
The look and feel of the whole user interface has been renewed, and the main user
interface has been completely redesigned. It simplifies many of the functions that the
user can perform. By reorganizing the interface into more logical areas, the user is able
to perform related actions more easily.
Similarly, the design of the advanced settings has been restructured into more logical
areas.
-
Automatic removal of malware
The user is no longer prompted for actions when malware is found. Instead malware is
automatically removed and the user is notified of this. This behavior can be configured
in “Settings - Virus and spyware scanning”. There are now only two available options
when virus or spyware is found:
o
If unclear, ask me
o
Always ask me
-
Action taken when scanning viruses and spyware is unified
Only one decision about the treatment of malware is required. This affects both manual
scans and scheduled scans.
-
Removal of Virus and spyware security levels
There are no longer any Virus and spyware security levels. All settings can be
configured individually.
-
Refined infection cleaning dialog
The dialog which is presented when a virus is being removed has been refined so it’s
possible to minimize it and use the computer while the infection is being cleaned. The
look and feel of the dialog has also been updated, and an accurate progress bar has
been added.
-
Virus and spyware history
From Virus and spyware history, the user can see what has been done to viruses and
spyware that have been found on their computer.
-
Scanning performance improvements without sacrificing security
