F-secure V 5.41 is it any good ?

I got for my birthday > F secure V 5.41.

I installed it (i first unistalled AVG Free and Avast)

I saw it has no "real" main program ? Is this correct ? It only has 3 different modules sitting in the taskbar.

It seems to me it uses 3 different engine's ?

F-prot
AVP
Orion

Does it always uses them simultain ? Or do i have to launch them independently ?

Are these engine's any good ? do i have to update each engine seperatly ?

Does this program offers strong procetion ? is it as good as AVG or avast ?

It seems it can't be configured a lot ? is this meant to be so ?

Do i really need "backweb" or is it some nasty spy ?

Sorry for these many questions, but i found it such a "strange AV"....

Imho you can be really happy with your birthday present...

Yes, F-Secure is a bit 'unusual', but it is surely one of the best AVs you can get.
It indeed uses its three engines simultaniously, and you don't have to update them seperately.

You don't need Backweb, but without it you have to start the update process manually (not a big disadvantage imho.) Backweb surely is no spyware.

I suggest, you read a bit in this or other boards around, and you will surely see, that you now are the owner of an extraordinary AV.
