    Hi!

    FSIS 2007 beta up and running without problems. Might look heavy when looking processes, but FSIS 2007 Beta runs here nicely.

    Please read release notes (known issues) before installing. And as always, use reg cleaner after uninstalling previous security progs.

    Nice features but it slow down my system a lot comparing to NOD.
    For people with 3Ghz/>512mb machines it should be ok.

    They used to give free software for good beta testers before..

    yes installed fine here,i am updating the signatures now...i found that certain "fssm32.exe" is causing slow start-up by taking 60-92% of memory at start-up...
    The AS is still ad-aware and there a quite a few new things installed,i am sorry i haven't used FSIS 2006 for a while,like
    HIPS,GEMINI.Pegasus,and i don't think we had web-http scanning before...

    but this is only the first beta the later betas should use less resourse. btw fsis2006 uses 19 processes. so the new one uses alot less. you are right the current version doesnt have HIPs, gemini or pegisis.

    I uninstalled kav6 and outpost firewall and am giving this a try. So far everything is running really well.

    I had to make a network rule to get file and printer sharing going. Everything else, including a proxy program and bitcomet, are working without even a prompt. Not sure that I actually like how automatic all of this happens. I went in to see bitcomet under the applications list of the firewall and was surprised that i could not define an incoming port. It is an allow all or none type of setting.

    The activity monitor is also lame compared to that of most of the dedicated firewall programs. This is the first all in one security program I have tried in a long time so I might be a little critical here.

    This machine is running winxp sp2 on an Athlon X2-4200 with 1mb memory. Will have to test some more but this seems to be decent software. Just need to make sure it is protecting what I expect it to.

    ive been using f-secure since the 2005 version and got no viruses and if a virus trys to download it does block the download this has happerned quite a few times. its a bit much on resourses but i dont care that much and this beta seems to be lighter by the look of the screen shots but only time will tell

    Is there any thing new with the AVP (Kaspersky engine) ? Only standard antivirus databases without additional databases?

    lucky you,thanks to system restore i was able to cure my pc...
    The un-installer did run,but it didn't remove anything....the un-install process ended in matter of seconds and asked me to reboot..
    and to my surprise not even a single file was removed...

    I rather enjoy beta testing, personally, it's not much of a frustration to restore your system from a snapshot if it causes complications. It's all rather interesting to watch a product develop and release gold for me.

    Perhaps, I should find some friends. :)

    durad if you read the release notes it says ascan all files set as default this may impact on older computers and slow down boot time so if this is an issue to the user you can change the option to custom and choose scan certains files only.

    the other day i emailed f-secure and told them about kaspersky ichecker and Istreams technology and explained how it worked. they emailed me back today and they thought it was a great idea and they will tell someone higher up.

    basically the email said it is a great technology to invest in since it has a checksum solution. that would help alot in the scanning process.

    i hope they do try and ask kaspersky if they can use the technology and impument it in to f-secure 2007. as people know they already use part of kaspersky technology so it might make it eaiser to use those ones.
