F Secure 2007 released

Gerardwil nailed the issue, just download F-secure IS 2007 trail and enter your existing license for F-secure IS 2006. I DID exactly that, your subscription has same expiration/renewal date.

The first part of the answer provided to Q2 in the link SAYS the EXACT same thing as I did. However the second part seems to answer IMO upgrading an OLD TRial version of F-secure IS. BTW I have licenses for both FIS and FAV products but has only 'upgraded' FIS so far

 

i did the same, downloaded their trial and use my current license and it works...

it does seems a litle faster than previous version...

 

I asked to support and they told me I must buy an upgrade to install 2007 version.

dang it. but should i install the trial an put in code anyway?

 

of course they wanna make more money...

 

it worked for me, it'll probably work for you too...

 

most likely I will try it.

 

Thanks for your suggest sick

Free F-Secure Anti-Virus licenz till 15.07.2007 [CHIP 08/06] is compatible for new FSAV 2007

 

I looked for it but couldn't find it.

 

I installed F-Secure AV 2007 right over 2006, again using the free licence from CHIP. Worked without fuss.

So far, I think the upgrade was worthwhile. I think the resource usage is a bit less, and the laptop feels slightly snappier. Plus I have noticed two new features already that I may like: First, "Web Traffic Scanning". This was not activated by default, by I did activate it in settings. Second, there's some sort of program control that I didn't notice on FSAV 2006; I ran CCleaner this morning, and F-Secure asked me if it was okay to let it do its thing. Nice!

 

F-Secure 2007 appears to use the KAV 6 engine.. can anyone confirm or deny this?

Scans are taking considerably less time....

 

I don't know first hand, but according to this thread: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17017807~mode=flat

F-Secure Scanning engines:
F-Secure AVP: 6.0.171, 2006-10-02
F-Secure Libra: 2.4.1, 2006-09-29
F-Secure Orion: 1.2.37, 2006-10-02
F-Secure Blacklight: 1.0.31, 0000-00-00
F-Secure Pegasus: 1.19.0, 2006-08-29
F-Secure Draco: 1.0.35, 2006-09-19

Where:
AVP = Kaspersky's antivirus engine
Orion = F-Secure's heuristic/behavioral engine
Draco = Lavasoft's Ad-Aware anti-spyware engine
Libra = F-Secure's signature/program-updates engine

Yes, I am now really liking this AV that I got for free.

 

it has always used the kav engine for as long as i have had it. and in the 2006 version scans take ages dont know about 2007 version.

 

75gb in 45mins is a big improvement...

 

Well it doesn't leave any alternate data streams so i assume it is kav6 engine??

 

I thought kav 5 and 6 used the same engine. just took out alternate data streams. because Ichecker and Isteams are separate.

correct me if wrong.

 

that is a big improvement.

i think fsis 2006 takes eiether 1 hour or two hours on my 54gb of data.

 

I'm running F-secure 2007 on my laptop. Seems to run faster with less complications than last year's release. All of the processes take up around 63,000 k in idle mode. Compare that to Trend Micro's 2007 Internet Security Suite that used up 155,000 k with all processes on my main computer.

Agree completely. A couple of days now have passed since I installed FSAV '07 over FSAV '06, and I'm not looking back. The difference is significant. There were a handful of folks here who tried F-Secure '06 when the free license was available, but put off by resource usage and/or sluggishness. To them I say you have to try this upgrade.

 

I installed f-secure 2007 today and it is lighter than the 2006 version and less slowness but i will still get antivir when the license runs out.

the pop ups are better with the new deepguard and system monitor. and when you click on an option it goes any right away.



thanks in advance

Hi, since i rid of the btyahoo browser i cant access reports from f-secure. when i click on it it says new report avalible then says no new report avalible but doesnt open.

i dont know how to fix it does anyone?

also strangely when i right clicked the icon and clicked about, it said the normal stuff like copyright lavasoftware kaspersky etc. but what caught my eye was norman sandbox copyright norman.

also when ever something does anything it asks you if you want to allow it. i guess they wanted a HIPS that asked you.

 

It's strange that when I used the free licence from CHIP on 2007(no 2006 on my computer),it could only used for 7 days.
