New F-Secure Client Security 7

http://www.f-secure.com/small_businesses/products/fscs.html

Anyone been testing it? Hoping it will be noticable lighter than the F-Secure 2007 version. The Client Security version 6 are IMO much lighter than 2006, so Ill cross my fingers

 

oh geez just like symantec and macafee they make the business versions more configurable and lighter?

"F-Secure Client Security 7 will be available in January 2007"...There are some beta for this type of products?

 

Lighter maybe, more options, more advanced firewalles (cicso support etc., BIG plus for me)

Surely there must be, just cant find it

 

eww. is nod32,dr web and kaspersky the only companies to have light home and business versions? and configurable?

 

Excited to see if Symantec are planning a new version of their Client Security, now both McAfee and F-Secure launces new corporate versions

Btw. Both McAfee Antivirus Plus 07 and Norton 07 are running just as light on my machine as Kaspersky etc. And most people dont want a much configurable AV.

But I dont care. This was a thread started to hear about the new f-secure. Not to start a catfight. Do that in another thread please.

 

I'm running the new version 7 for about week now, works flawless. Feels and actually runs "even" lighter then the previous version 6, and offers lots of additional protection

 

just wondering how many processes and ram usage?
i know that fsis2007 uses 13 processes.
why do companies seem to rip home users off by having bloated products when the business users have more features but is lighter as well.
well at least drweb,antivir,kaspersky etc dont do this

I'll provide a screenshot this weekend. But please don't forget ram usage and number of processes don't say anything about the 'effective' recourse usage. On the computer I'm testing it on, it runs very smooth, especially for being a complete suite.

 

true but im wondering how many less processes than the home versions to compare.
i thought mcaffe and norton where the only companies that made heavy home versions but made lighter versions for business i think that really does suck.
i think 2processes for kis6.0 is great for a suite=D

Just got it to and will test it out, sounds very promising Looking forward for the 64 bit Vista version

 

yup,its was working very well on my pc when i tried it and has the new"HIPS" and "rootkit-detection" in it...

was a little slow at start-up.but it eventually settled down well..

 

On my machine the same experience, i can't complain

 

Does this version work on Windows Vista 32bit?

 

No, Vista compatible versions of F-Secure are released Q2 2007.

 

Running V7, having upgraded from v6 - and I wish I hadn't. I am getting extreme CPU usage from fssm32.exe - over 50% (on a dual-core machine!) with constant hard disk thrashing. The only way to stop the thrashing is to disable the realtime virus and spyware scanning - which is obviously a deal-breaker.

I never noticed this sort of resource thrashing on V6. I will go back to 6.0, and consider my long-term strategy - might be time to switch to KIS or NOD or Avira

 

have you tried a clean installation of v7? i mean cmplete uninstallation + removal tool and then installing this new version.

 

No, I did not try a clean installation - I installed over v6.0. I also went looking for a removal tool but could not find... Is there any evidence to suggest that a clean installation would avert this issue with high CPU and hard disk usage?
