If you need a security solution for your Windows PC, F-Secure sounds like a good bet.


AV-TEST Institute has awarded F-Secure Best Protection Award for the fourth year straight, the first security vendor to achieve this. F-Secure’s Client Security also includes server security for a more complete solution.

AV-TEST CEO Andres Marx commented that: “Since 2011, F-Secure’s security product has been a guarantee of high protection in corporate environments.” AV-TEST, is a leader in IT security and anti-virus research, and says that F-Secure’s solution is the best for Windows users. The company tests the different solutions on the market on how they secure systems against current threats and also malware infections that target previously unknown vulnerabilities, whether via websites or emails.

Lydia Chia, regional marketing and communications manager for F-secure, explains that AV-TEST conducts monthly test so F-Secure had to produce consistent results to win the award. “After four years in a row, there is no doubting the consistent top quality of our products, day in and day out,” she says.

F-Secure Client Security is a solution that protects PCs using technologies against known and emerging threats. It contains not just an antivirus, but also a firewall, antispyware, rootkit scanning, as well as protection for your browser against websites that could compromise your computer. The solution’s DeepGuard engine detects threats via behaviour and provides heuristic protection for potential upcoming malware. There’s also the Client Security Premium version, which comes with a Software Update that will make sure your OS and third-party apps are update. This is important as updates ensure that security vulnerabilities are fixed.
