    Nobody knows the answear to this?
    I have bought it and download it but want to know if it starts counting from the installation or the download time.
    Thank you

    i thought i answered this,

    setting everything to high will not create any slugishness,

    setting the realtime protection to 'all files' instead of 'defined files', will.

    Chris, the only setting I changed was turning HTTP scanning on. At startup I observed almost five minutes of 70-85% CPU usage of fssm32.exe in my process gadget. With other AV's I haven't noticed anything more than 30% and certainly not at that length of time.

    Like I said it ran ok (but not great) on my laptop. On my desktop however it was sludge. It has never ran well with me with Vista.

    Can you please explain to me how/where do you turn all to high and do not set scan to "all files"?

    F-Secure realtime protection is set to scan 'defined files' by default.

    If I set mine to high, it scans all files with no way of changing that? Set it to custom and it can be set to whatever. I don't see how CSJ was changing that?? :thumb:

    ok i just answered the part of your question:
    Yes, as far as i can recall (i'm not running FS atm) there is a 'custom' settings available somewhere within configuration. From there you can change to your desired selections.

    Has anyone used this version with XP? I found that the right click scan didn't work last time I tried it, and there are several others on the F-Secure forums with the same issue. All the F-Secure support guys say is to uninstall virtually everything else on the PC, and this seems to be their answer to every problem with FSIS. I had it working OK on my Vista laptop, but I do like to have both the same security suites on both my Desktop and Laptop.

    You answered but your answer is not useful for all users of F-Secure...

    I use default settings and get 100% CPU usage many times...
    It's not so simple...

    Hi Simon, I tried the AV sometime ago on my XP desktop but didn't experience your case. Strange, to say the least.
    By the way, FSAV was the only security app running on my system then.

    I have that problem, i have uninstalled F-secure and installed it again but that problem remains, and have another small glitch that when i reboot pc it appears in tray icon above f-secura that there is a malfunction with antivirus and antispyware however that red cross disappears 30seconds later.
    Have read in f-secure forum that this problem is related to driver load.
    I realy dont use right click scan so its not a issue for me, the software is running very well, apart those 2 small things.
    I ave notested that this suite have 15 processes running, almost all are very light, around 1/2mb each.
    Surfing the web is very fast even with webscanner on.

    I do get an extra sense of security by using the right click scan, even though it probably isn't actually all that essential. I currently have Bit Defender installed, and have no real reason to change, except for the fact that I still like F-Secure, despite it's odd glitches.
