What's New in F-Secure SAFE for PC/Internet Security
This article outlines important changes and features, as well as fixes released in the latest versions of F-Secure SAFE for PC and Internet Security.
Version 17.9
Released November/2020
Banking protection logic and security improvements with redesigned user interface
Applications that are trusted in the Security Cloud are allowed to connect to the internet during a banking session.
Command line and scripting tools are not allowed to connect to the internet during a banking session.
Payment site handling during a banking session has been improved.
The Banking protection user interface has been redesigned. The new user interface is less intrusive and handles large resolutions and multiple monitors.
Manual and scheduled scanning improvements
Virus scan handling of large harmful item collections has been improved.
Virus scan no longer shows 'Memory: 0 items'.
The file scanning phase is shown with green color instead of yellow.
The Scan report has been improved, and its style has been updated to match with the rest of the product.
New scheduled and command line scanner (fsscan.exe)
Scheduled scanning logic has been modified; duplicate entries for the same infections should not occur any more.
New Event history
The new Event history runs in a separate process; it has better performance and consumes less memory while open.
The user interface has the same look and feel as the App and file control.
Other improvements
When a USB storage device is inserted, a notification is shown, asking if you want to scan the device.
Search result ratings are shown also if you use the DuckDuckGo search engine.
The issue with Chrome extension check not working if Chrome was installed under user's folder has now been fixed.
The App and file control dialog allows you to select multiple items and perform operations on them.
The Support page in Settings has an option to turn on debug logging.
Other scanning engine improvements since the last release
Implemented online scanning for malicious URLs.
Vastly improved AMSI script scanning performance and stability.
Enhanced protection against malicious browser downloads.
Enhanced archive scanning stability.
Enhanced robustness for engine updates.
