[silversurfer]

What's new in F-Secure SAFE for PC/Internet Security Version 17.5
Released Jan/2019

Dialog and notification enhancements

• 'Recent events' has a Clear all button.
  
• The Advanced network protection toast message for potentially unwanted application (riskware) has a Trust button.
  
• The DeepGuard toast message for potentially unwanted application (riskware) has a Remove button.
  

Family Rules enhancements

• The main user interface displays a warning if a child's account has administrative rights and parental control/family rules is turned on.
  
• The Allow/deny web sites feature works for individual web pages; not just web sites.
  

Product architecture changed

• Instead of three separate modules that combined to make the product, there is now just a single package.
  
• The product is installed first, and the license is entered/acquired after installation.
  
• The new architecture makes the installation and updates more reliable.
  
• Smaller disk space required.
  
• Reduced the memory footprint (excluding Ultralight processes).
  

Subscription/licensing subsystem redesign

• A subscription reminder is first shown as a toast message and only closer to expiration date, as a dialog.
  
• The subscription expiration date is shown in the local timezone with hour accuracy.
  
• The main user interface has a Manage subscription link, which turns into a Renew link when the subscription is about to expire.
  
• A subscription update is shown as a toast message with the new end date (if available).
  
• The subscription status updates faster and in all places of the product at the same time.
  
• The new virus signature databases are not downloaded when the product has expired.
  

Other improvements

• When you report a website from the browsing protection block page, the URL is pre-filled in the submit form.
  
• Support for the Korean language was added.
  
• The F-Secure Support tool has been improved:
  • The F-Secure Support tool supports high resolution and accessibility features.
    
  • The F-Secure Support tool uses zlib for compression instead of 7-zip. You can now inspect more easily what has been collected before you send it to F-Secure. This helps with privacy and transparency.
    

The following features were removed:

• The Installation complete page, as it did not bring additional value.
  
• A warning indicating the Firewall is off. Windows shows the warning already.
  
• Browsing time lock mode. Now the whole device is always locked.
  
• The Installed applications page from Common settings.
  
• The Subscription keys page from Common settings.
