F-Secure releases 2010 version

F-Secure announced its newest security suite today entitled the F-Secure Internet Security 2010.

The new product is designed to meet the company’s goal of ‘protecting the irreplaceable.’

The title appears to live up to its name, with recent AV-Test.org performance tests showing results that the product is 60% faster than its predecessors from the company while using 80% less of a computer’s operating system to run.

Additionally, it also requires 70% less memory than its previous versions.

F-Secure claims that the new features built into the update will also allow for a safer user experience, as well as offer better detection rates when a virus, malware, or other piece of malicious software is present.

It also comes equipped with a built in browsing protection tool that will check website security before a user is transferred to the page.

If the tool detects malicious presence on a website the user is blocked from accessing it automatically.

Additionally, the browsing tool has an exploit shield to prevent attacks through holes in any plug-ins or in the browser itself.

Pirkka Palomaki, the CTO of F-Secure, stated that the company listened to consumer feedback while designing the upgrade and put the new software through many usability studies before releasing it, to guarantee that the product is user friendly and provides the user with its top performance.

Palomaki continued to say that while meeting the above stated goals, the company also added new features so that users are safe while browsing at all times, in an attempt to raise the bar for security companies.
