Jedan od najstarijih brendova IT sigurnosnih proizvoda, F-Secure , prisutan je i dobro posluje na tržištu, nakon više od dva desetljeća postojanja. Tvrtka razvija i prodaje sigurnosne proizvode s ciljem zaštite od modernih online i izvanmrežnih prijetnji, od običnih virusa do ransomwarea ili hakera koji pokušavaju ukrasti vaše podatke. Njihov najizdašniji sigurnosni paket koji je danas dostupan zove se F-Secure TOTAL i obećava da će ponuditi internetsku sigurnost, roditeljski nadzor^{(Parental Controls)} i VPN za sve vaše uređaje, od računala do pametnih telefona. Htjeli smo vidjeti koliko je dobar, pa smo ga testirali nekoliko dana. U ovoj recenziji dijelimo ono što smo pronašli i svoje mišljenje o ovom antivirusnom proizvodu. Počnimo:

U čemu je F-Secure TOTAL dobar?

F-Secure TOTAL je sigurnosno rješenje koje je dobro za vas ako:

• Želite učinkovitu zaštitu od zlonamjernog softvera
• Želite biti dobro zaštićeni njegovim F-Secure Freedome VPN rješenjem, dok ste povezani na javne Wi-Fi mreže i druge mreže u koje nemate povjerenja
• Želite biti dobro zaštićeni od zlonamjernih web-mjesta bez obzira na web-preglednik koji preferirate koristiti
• Želite antivirusni proizvod bez problema s minimalističkim korisničkim sučeljem

F-Secure TOTAL naspram F-Secure SAFE

Glavne značajke koje nudi F-Secure TOTAL su:

1. Antivirusna zaštita
2. Roditeljski nadzor
3. VPN usluga s neograničenim podatkovnim planom
4. Besplatna korisnička podrška
5. Licenciranje više uređaja

F-Secure SAFE , s druge strane, ima gotovo sve što nudi F-Secure TOTAL , uz jednu veliku iznimku: ne uključuje F-Secure Freedome . Budući da je korištenje VPN usluge za osiguranje mrežnog prometa ovih dana neophodno, a činjenica da razlika u cijeni nije značajna, vjerujemo da je F-Secure TOTAL bolji izbor.

Za i protiv

U F-Secure TOTAL- u treba uzeti u obzir više od nekoliko dobrih stvari :

• Antivirusni mehanizam je učinkovit i može očistiti svaki zlonamjerni softver koji pronađe
• Antivirusni mehanizam je brz kada skenira vaše Windows računalo
• Web štit skenira i filtrira sav internetski promet na vašem računalu, tako da ste zaštićeni u bilo kojem web pregledniku koji želite koristiti
• Ovaj sigurnosni proizvod praktički nema negativan učinak na brzinu i performanse vašeg računala
• Korisničko sučelje je jednostavno i lako za korištenje, čak i dijete može raditi s njim

• F-Secure Freedome izvrstan je dodatak - neograničeni plan uključen u ovu VPN uslugu čuva vas čak i kada ste na putu, povezani na javne WiFi mreže

Postoji i nekoliko manje pozitivnih stvari koje morate uzeti u obzir:

• F-Secure TOTAL nema modul vatrozida koji bi vas zaštitio od mrežnih napada. Umjesto toga koristi vatrozid sustava Windows^{(Windows Firewall)}

• Ne možete postaviti sigurnosni paket da automatski skenira prijenosne diskove
• Alat F-Secure Key košta dodatni novac ako želite sinkronizirati svoje lozinke sa svim svojim uređajima

Presuda

F-Secure TOTAL je sigurnosni proizvod koji je izvrstan izbor za početnike i ljude koji vole jednostavne antivirusne proizvode. Ima minimalističko korisničko sučelje, s vrlo malo postavki i opcija za podešavanje. Također je dobar izbor za sve koji žele zaštititi svoja računala od zlonamjernog softvera dok pregledavaju web u bilo kojem pregledniku. Još jedna velika pozitivna stvar je činjenica da F-Secure TOTAL nudi VPN uslugu s neograničenim podatkovnim planom, što je izvrsno za korisnike koji žele biti zaštićeni dok su spojeni na nepouzdane mreže ili koji ne žele da se nadzire njihovo pregledavanje weba. Međutim, F-Secure TOTALnije tako sjajan za napredne korisnike koji žele puno mogućnosti kontrole i konfiguracije i za one od vas koji žele zaštitu vatrozida koja je puno bolja od onoga što Windows vatrozid^{(Windows Firewall)} nudi.

Iskustvo preuzimanja i instalacije

Da biste dobili probnu verziju F-Secure TOTAL na svoje računalo, prvo morate stvoriti online račun na web stranici F-Secure^{(F-Secure's website)} . To je obavezan korak i ne možete ga zaobići. Da biste to učinili, tvrtki morate dati valjanu adresu e-pošte, ime i lozinku po vašem izboru. Zatim možete preuzeti instalacijski program za F-Secure TOTAL . To je mala izvršna datoteka pod nazivom F-Secure-Safe-Network-Installer_[some_numbers].exe , veličine samo 818 KB. Pokretanje instalacijskog programa pokreće pokretanje čarobnjaka za instalaciju, koji automatski koristi pojedinosti vašeg računa. Međutim, kao što možete vidjeti u nastavku, možete se prijaviti i s drugim F-Secure računom ako to želite.

Zatim možete vidjeti koje će značajke biti instalirane na vašem računalu i, ako želite, možete odabrati "doprinijeti sigurnosne podatke Sigurnosnom oblaku". ^{("contribute security data to Security Cloud.")}Preporučujemo da to učinite jer to pomaže inženjerima F-Securea^(F-Secure) da brže reagiraju na prijetnje.

Zatim morate pričekati minutu ili dvije, dok instalacijski program preuzme i instalira potrebne datoteke za F-Secure TOTAL . Kada je instalacija gotova, F-Secure TOTAL pokreće svoje korisničko sučelje koje izgleda vrlo jednostavno. Proizvod odmah pokreće automatsko ažuriranje svojih baza virusa, što je dobro, jer znači da ćete od samog početka dobiti ažuriranu zaštitu. Ukupno, F-Secure TOTAL preuzima oko 289 MB podataka, što je manje od onoga što je potrebno drugim sličnim sigurnosnim paketima.

Nema potrebe za ponovnim pokretanjem Windows računala jer vas antivirusni proizvod počinje štititi čim je njegovo korisničko sučelje spremno. Također, vrijedno je spomenuti da vas F-Secure TOTAL ne pita da li želite promijeniti njegovu zadanu instalacijsku lokaciju ili želite odabrati module koje želite instalirati.

Preuzimanje i instaliranje F-Secure TOTAL-a je jednostavno i brzo, ali vas prisiljava na stvaranje mrežnog računa. To je u redu za kupce koji plaćaju, ali za ljude koji samo žele pokrenuti probnu verziju, poput nas, stvaranje online računa čini se previše. Srećom, jedini osobni podaci koje morate dati su vaše ime i adresa e-pošte.^{(Downloading and installing F-Secure TOTAL is easy and fast, but it forces you to create an online account. That is OK for paying customers, but for people who just want to run a trial version, like ourselves, creating an online account feels a bit too much. Fortunately, the only personal information you must provide is your name and email address.)}

Integracija sa sustavom Windows^(Windows) , web preglednicima i univerzalnim aplikacijama za Windows platformu

Tijekom svoje instalacije, F-Secure TOTAL automatski onemogućuje Windows Defender kako bi eliminirao moguće sukobe i probleme s performansama koje mogu potaknuti dva slična sigurnosna proizvoda koja rade u isto vrijeme. Međutim, isto se ne događa za Windows vatrozid^{(Windows Firewall)} , koji nije onemogućen. Međutim, postoji dobar razlog za to: F-Secure TOTAL se naziva "totalnim" sigurnosnim proizvodom, ali ne uključuje modul vatrozida. Morate se zadovoljiti Windows vatrozidom^{(Windows Firewall)} kada je u pitanju zaštita mreže.

Dobra strana toga je što je malo vjerojatno da ćete imati problema s korištenjem mrežnih značajki iz Windowsa^(Windows) . Stvaranje^(Creating) ili pridruživanje matičnoj grupi^(Homegroup) je jednostavno, kao i dijeljenje datoteka ili mapa putem mreže. Također nismo imali nikakvih problema prilikom pokretanja ili ažuriranja aplikacija univerzalne Windows platforme.^(Windows)

Kako bi vas zaštitio od opasnih web stranica, F-Secure TOTAL skenira i filtrira sav internetski promet koji ulazi i izlazi iz vašeg računala. To znači da ste sigurni u bilo kojem web pregledniku koji želite koristiti, što je dobra stvar. Osim toga, nudi vam i zaštitu preglednika pomoću dodatka F-Secure^{(Browser Protection by an F-Secure)} , koji je proširenje preglednika dizajnirano da vam ponudi informacije o sigurnosti web-mjesta koje posjećujete, kao io pretraživanjima koja obavljate na internetu. Dostupan je samo za Google Chrome , Mozilla Firefox i Internet Explorer . Ako koristite Microsoft Edge ili Opera , nećete ga dobiti.

Idući dalje, željeli smo vidjeti ima li F-Secure TOTAL značajan negativan učinak na performanse našeg testnog prijenosnog računala. Počeli smo korištenjem BootRacera^(BootRacer) za mjerenje vremena pokretanja našeg računala prije i nakon instaliranja F-Securea^(F-Secure) . Brojke koje smo dobili bile su iste sa i bez F-Secure TOTAL-a,^{(F-Secure TOTAL,)} tako da je to izvrsna stvar. Također smo pogledali koliko RAM-a troši. U normalnim okolnostima, kada se ne događa ništa neobično, F-Secure TOTAL je koristio manje od 168 MB RAM-a^(RAM) što nije značajan broj prema današnjim standardima.

Kako bismo provjerili utječe li na brzinu interneta ili lokalne mreže F-Secure TOTAL , izvršili smo nekoliko testova sa Speedtest.net i LAN Speed ​​Testom^{(LAN Speed Test)} . Rezultati nisu pokazali značajne promjene, pa se čini da ovaj antivirusni proizvod ne šteti radu interneta ili lokalne mreže.

F-Secure TOTAL je sigurnosni proizvod koji je dobro integriran sa sustavom Windows i njegovim mrežnim značajkama. Odsutnost vlasničkog modula vatrozida pomaže u integraciji, ali također moramo imati na umu da ovaj proizvod nije imao značajan učinak na ukupnu izvedbu našeg računala i brzinu naših mrežnih prijenosa.^{(F-Secure TOTAL is a security product that is well integrated with Windows and its networking features. The absence of a proprietary firewall module helps with the integration, but we must also take note that this product had no meaningful effect on our computer's overall performance, and the speed of our network transfers.)}

Jednostavnost korištenja i konfiguracije

F-Secure TOTAL nudi korisničko sučelje koje je iznimno jednostavno, s četiri glavna odjeljka: Antivirus, Obiteljska pravila, Alati^{(Antivirus, Family Rules, Tools)} i Moj F-Secure^{(My F-Secure)} . Svatko od njih radi ono što im ime kaže, tako da u njima nema ništa neočekivano ili komplicirano. F-Secure koristi svijetloplavu boju po cijelom korisničkom sučelju i toplu zelenu boju za važne poruke. Tada je sigurnosno stanje vašeg računala u redu jer ako nije, zeleno postaje crveno.

Jedna značajka koju će svi cijeniti je činjenica da možete jednostavno koristiti F-Secure TOTAL na bilo kojem računalu ili uređaju, čak i na tabletima ili 2-u-1. Gumbi su veliki, a većinu postavki kontroliraju prekidači ili kvačice.

Sve značajke, postavke i opcije u F-Secure TOTAL- u trebale bi biti lako razumljive. Međutim, ako imate problema s nečim, budite sigurni da možete dobiti pomoć. Ako ste na mreži, možete pristupiti bazi znanja, odjeljku s čestim pitanjima^(FAQ) , forumima zajednice, chatu uživo ili nazvati tehničara za podršku za pomoć. F-Secure čak ima datoteke pomoći izvan mreže, što je nešto što ovih dana ne možete vidjeti često.

Ako volite imati pojedinosti o tome što se dogodilo na vašem računalu, ili ako volite statistike, trebali biste znati da F-Secure TOTAL nudi oboje. Možete vidjeti podatke o skeniranim datotekama ili očišćenim virusima, kao i dobiti pojedinosti o svakom važnom sigurnosnom događaju koji se dogodio na vašem računalu.

Što se tiče upozorenja i obavijesti, vidjeli smo upozorenja koja su se odnosila na datoteke zaražene zlonamjernim softverom, kao i neke obavijesti o bežičnim mrežama na koje smo se povezali, ali to je gotovo sve. Nismo vidjeli nikakva upozorenja u vezi s radnjama vatrozida, ali smo očekivali da će sigurnosni paket koristiti Windows vatrozid^{(Windows Firewall)} da vas zaštiti. Ako želite tihi sigurnosni proizvod i ne želite da vas smetaju nevažna upozorenja, uživat ćete u F-Secure TOTAL .

F-Secure TOTAL je sigurnosni proizvod koji svojim korisnicima nudi jednostavno korisničko sučelje minimalističkog dizajna. Lako ga koristi svatko, na bilo kojem uređaju^{(F-Secure TOTAL is a security product that offers its users a simple user interface with a minimalistic design. It is easy to use by anyone, on any device)} .

Na sljedećoj stranici ovog pregleda možete vidjeti koliko je F-Secure TOTAL učinkovit u zaštiti vašeg računala od mrežnih napada i zlonamjernog softvera. Također možete vidjeti koje su dodatne značajke uključene u ovaj sigurnosni paket i provjeriti naše preporuke koje postavke trebate prilagoditi.

Security for everyone - Review F-Secure TOTAL

One of the oldest brands of IT sесurity products, F-Secure, is рresent and doing well on the market, after more than two decadeѕ of existence. The company develops and sellѕ security prоducts aimed аt protеcting yоu against modern online and offline thrеats, from regular virυses to ransomware or hackеrs trying to steal your data. Their most generous security suite available today is called F-Secure TOTAL, and it promises to offer internet security, Parental Controls and VPN for all your devices, from PCs to smartphones. We wanted to see how good it is, so we tested it for a few days. In this review, we share what we have found and our opinion about this antivirus product. Let's start:

What is F-Secure TOTAL good at?

F-Secure TOTAL is a security solution that is good for you if:

• You want efficient protection against malware
• You want to be well protected by its F-Secure Freedome VPN solution, while you are connected to public Wi-Fi networks and other networks that you do not trust
• You want to be well protected against malicious websites regardless of the web browser you prefer using
• You want a hassle-free antivirus product with a minimalist user interface

F-Secure TOTAL vs. F-Secure SAFE

The main features offered by F-Secure TOTAL are:

1. Antivirus protection
2. Parental controls
3. VPN service with unlimited data plan
4. Free customer support
5. Multi-device licensing

F-Secure SAFE, on the other hand, has almost everything that F-Secure TOTAL offers, with one major exception: it does not include F-Secure Freedome. Because using a VPN service to secure your network traffic is a must have these days, and the fact that the price difference is not significant, we believe that F-Secure TOTAL is the better choice.

Pros and cons

There are more than a few good things to consider at F-Secure TOTAL:

• The antivirus engine is efficient and can clean any malware it finds
• The antivirus engine is fast when scanning your Windows computer
• The web shield scans and filters all the internet traffic on your computer, so you are protected in any web browser you prefer using
• This security product has virtually no negative effect on your computer's speed and performance
• The user interface is simple and easy to use, even a child can work with it

• F-Secure Freedome is a great addition - the unlimited plan included in this VPN service keeps you safe even when you are on the road, connected to public WiFi networks

There are also a few less positive things that you must take into consideration:

• F-Secure TOTAL has no firewall module to protect you against network attacks. It uses the Windows Firewall instead

• You cannot set the security suite to scan removable drives automatically
• The F-Secure Key tool costs additional money if you want to sync your passwords to all your devices

Verdict

F-Secure TOTAL is a security product that is an excellent choice for beginners and people who love straightforward antivirus products. It has a minimalistic user interface, with very few settings and options to adjust. It is also a good choice for anyone who wants to secure their computers against malware while browsing the web in any browser. Another major positive is the fact that F-Secure TOTAL offers a VPN service with an unlimited data plan, which is great for users who want to be protected while they are connected to untrusted networks or who do not want their web browsing monitored. However, F-Secure TOTAL is not so great for advanced users who want a lot of control and configuration options and for those of you who want firewall protection that is much better than what the Windows Firewall has to offer.

The download and installation experience

To get a trial version of F-Secure TOTAL on your computer, you first have to create an online account on F-Secure's website. It is a mandatory step, and you cannot get around it. To do that, you have to provide the company with a valid email address, a name, and a password of your choosing. Then, you can download the installer for F-Secure TOTAL. It is a small executable file called F-Secure-Safe-Network-Installer_[some_numbers].exe, with a size of only 818 KB. Running the installer triggers the launch of the installation wizard, which automatically uses your account details. However, as you can see below, you can also login with another F-Secure account if you want to.

Then, you can see what features are going to be installed on your computer and, if you want, you can choose to "contribute security data to Security Cloud." We recommend you do so because this helps F-Secure's engineers respond faster to threats.

Then you have to wait for a minute or two, while the installer downloads and installs the necessary files for F-Secure TOTAL. When the installation is done, F-Secure TOTAL launches its user interface, which looks very simple. The product immediately triggers an automatic update of its virus databases, which is good, as it means you will get updated protection right from the start. In total, F-Secure TOTAL downloads about 289 MB worth of data, which is less than what other similar security suites need.

There is no need to reboot your Windows computer, as the antivirus product starts protecting you as soon as its user interface is ready. Also, it is worth mentioning that F-Secure TOTAL does not ask you whether you want to change its default installation location or whether you want to choose the modules you want installed.

Downloading and installing F-Secure TOTAL is easy and fast, but it forces you to create an online account. That is OK for paying customers, but for people who just want to run a trial version, like ourselves, creating an online account feels a bit too much. Fortunately, the only personal information you must provide is your name and email address.

Integration with Windows, web browsers and universal Windows platform apps

During its installation, F-Secure TOTAL automatically disables Windows Defender, to eliminate the possible conflicts and performance issues that can be triggered by two similar security products running at the same time. However, the same does not happen for Windows Firewall, which is not disabled. However, there is a good reason for that: F-Secure TOTAL is called a "total" security product, but it does not include a firewall module. You have to make do with Windows Firewall when it comes to network protection.

The good side of that is that it is unlikely for you to have any problems in using the networking features from Windows. Creating or joining a Homegroup is easy, and so is sharing files or folders over the network. We also had no problems at all when running or updating universal Windows platform apps.

To protect you against dangerous websites, F-Secure TOTAL scans and filters all the internet traffic that goes in and out of your computer. That means that you are safe in any web browser you prefer using, which is a good thing. Additionally, it also provides you with a Browser Protection by an F-Secure add-on, which is a browser extension designed to offer you information about the safety of the websites you visit and also for the searches you make on the internet. It is available only for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. If you use Microsoft Edge or Opera, you do not get it.

Moving further ahead, we wanted to see whether F-Secure TOTAL has a meaningful negative effect on our test laptop's performance. We began by using BootRacer to measure the boot time of our computer before and after installing F-Secure. The numbers we got were the same with and without F-Secure TOTAL, so that is an excellent thing. We also looked at how much RAM it consumes. During normal circumstances, when nothing out of the ordinary is taking place, F-Secure TOTAL used less than 168 MB of RAM which is not a significant number by today's standards.

To check whether the internet or local network speeds are affected by F-Secure TOTAL, we ran a few tests with Speedtest.net and with LAN Speed Test. The results showed no meaningful changes, so it looks like this antivirus product does not hurt the internet or local network performance.

F-Secure TOTAL is a security product that is well integrated with Windows and its networking features. The absence of a proprietary firewall module helps with the integration, but we must also take note that this product had no meaningful effect on our computer's overall performance, and the speed of our network transfers.

Ease of use & configuration

F-Secure TOTAL offers a user interface that is extremely simple, with four main sections: Antivirus, Family Rules, Tools and My F-Secure. Each of them does what their names say, so there is nothing unexpected or complicated about them. F-Secure uses a light blue color all over its user interface and a warm green color for the important messages. That is when the security state of your computer is OK because if it is not, the green turns red.

One feature that everyone will appreciate is the fact that you can easily use F-Secure TOTAL on any computer or device, even on tablets or 2-in-1s. The buttons are big, and most settings are controlled by switches or check marks.

All the features, settings and options in F-Secure TOTAL should be easy to understand. However, if there is something you have trouble with, rest assured that you can get help. If you go online, you can access the knowledge base, an FAQ section, community forums, live chat or call a support technician for help. F-Secure even has offline help files, which is something you do not get to see very often these days.

If you like having the details of what happened on your computer at hand, or if you enjoy statistics, you should know that F-Secure TOTAL offers both. You can see data about files scanned or viruses cleaned, as well as get details on each important security event that took place on your PC.

As far as alerts and notifications go, we saw alerts that were related to malware infected files, as well as some notifications about the wireless networks that we connected to, but that is pretty much all. We did not see any alerts regarding the firewall actions, but we expected that as the security suite uses Windows Firewall to protect you. If you want a silent security product and do not want to be bothered by unimportant alerts, you will enjoy F-Secure TOTAL.

F-Secure TOTAL is a security product that offers its users a simple user interface with a minimalistic design. It is easy to use by anyone, on any device.

On the next page of this review, you can see how effective F-Secure TOTAL is at protecting your computer from network attacks and malware. You can also see what additional features are included in this security suite, and check our recommendations for what settings you should adjust.
