For that matter, Kaspersky Internet Security costs £34.99 after your first year.

While the product’s £59.99 (inc VAT) full price - the one you get on renewal - is fairly typical, its reduced first-year subscription fee of £39.99 is higher than that of many rivals, including those with more features. It has a decent range of features, but lacks dedicated webcam protection and has no firewall, so you’re still left wrangling the Microsoft Defender firewall’s rather dated interface. It compares particularly well to Microsoft Defender when it comes to installation times for new software on low-performance PCs, and has less of an impact on website loading times than rival Kaspersky Internet Security.Īlthough F-Secure doesn’t always get perfect malware protection test scores, it’s nonetheless effective enough to provide solid defense against the kind of online threats you’ll encounter day-to-day. F-Secure had a protection rate of 96% and allowed the installation of 97% of legitimate software without false positive alerts, giving it an SE Labs total protection score of 96%.ĪV-Test’s performance data shows us that F-Secure Safe has a low impact on system performance. Kaspersky, McAfee and Avast also had better protection and total accuracy ratings. SE Labs last tested F-Secure Safe in the first quarter of 2021, when it was solidly out-performed by Microsoft Defender. It only threw up a single false positive, however. Although F-Secure scored 100% in one real-world malware exposure test set and both reference set scanning tests from AV-Test, it - like many other malware detection engines - experienced a blip in July’s real-world tests, giving it a protection rate of 99.3%. Consequently, this review is based on data from AV-Test and SE Labs only. F-Secure doesn’t get as much regular attention from testing houses as some of its rivals.
