F-Secure is what the company uses that I work for(of course they're using Win7) and being international on 6 continents they cannot afford and disruptions. And they're Kari's Homeboys out of Finland based in Helsinki. I like this when I visited their site.:
Sadly it IS a sign of OUR times.Policy on detecting spying programs developed by various governments
In late 2001, F-Secure Corporation received various queries on our standpoint regarding the possibility of spying programs developed by various governments.
Much of this discussion was generated by media coverage on rumored backdoor trojan known as "Magic Lantern", developed by FBI or NSA in USA. Discussion was increased as several US-based anti-virus vendors made comments implying they would on purpose leave a backdoor in their anti-virus products to allow such a spying program to work.
Thus, F-Secure Corporation would like to make known that we will not leave such backdoors to our F-Secure Anti-Virus products, regardless of the source of such tools. We have to draw a line with every sample we get regarding whether to detect it or not. This decision-making is influenced only by technical factors, and nothing else, but within the applicable laws and regulations, in our case meaning EU laws.
We will also be adding detection of any program we see that might be used for terrorist activity or to benefit organized crime.
We would like to state this for the record, as we have received queries regarding whether we would have the guts to detect something obviously made by a known violent mafia or terrorist organization. Yes we would.
F-Secure Corporation always aims to do what's best for our customers.
I dont know if mentioned before, but all three products of Panda Security (Panda Antivirus pro, Panda Internet Security, Panda Global Protection/Gold Protection) are not yet compatible.
Also, the Poll asks about Free antivirus programs but neither ESET (in which I referred to) or F-Secure have Free versions as far as I know (correct me If I'm wrong).
Regards.
I use BitDefender but if I was going to use a free AV then it would be Defender + SuperAntispyware.
Free 6 month F-Secure Beta versions (6 month)
ESET Free 30 day Trial
OK OK semantics I know, but they are free.
Good job moderating Nick, we Forums folk do tend to branch off sometimes.
