*F-Secure for Mac* is an antivirus solution for OS X. F-Secure has been
around on Windows for many years but it's only recently that a Mac version
has been launched. Firstly, note that F-Secure for Mac will not work if you
have any other third-party firewalls or antivirus products installed. It
works with Leopard OS X 10.5 and above and both 32 and 64 bit Macs. The other
important thing to note F-Secure isn't free - you have to purchase a license
key which is around $20 a month. Finally, if you want to uninstall F-Secure,
you can't just drag it to the Trash - you have to shut it down completely and
use the uninstaller that comes with the program. If that doesn't work,
manually uninstall the program by opening a Terminal.app and issuing a
command 'sudo /usr/local/f-secure/uninstall_Macprotection'. F-Secure for Mac
provides virus and spyware scanning in real-time although F-Secure recommend
that you perform a manual scan every 1-2 weeks. One thing you may notice is
that occasionally F-Secure for Mac detects false positives i.e. programs
which are harmless to your system. If this happens, you can contact F-Secure
directly at https://analysis.f-secure.com/portal/login.html to have it
removed. F-Secure Anti-Virus for Mac is automatically updated and displays
the latest successful update check time on the Statistics page. F-Secure
Anti-Virus for Mac displays a green status icon on the main page to display
its protection status. If the indicator is either yellow or red, you will see
a warning notification on the top line of the main user interface. F-Secure
for Mac is slightly different to F-Secure Internet Security on Windows. Some
features are missing or different because of the specific needs of OS X. In
addition, parental control features are already a feature of OS X and so are
not needed in F-Secure for Mac like they are in Windows. *Overall, F-Secure
is solid anti-virus software for Macs but it's debatable whether you actually
need a permanent anti-virus solutions on Macs.*Download *F-Secure Anti-Virus
