Quote: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.

Quote:F-Secure SAFE for PC/Internet Security Version 17.6
Released April/2019

Banking protection clears the clipboard
For added security, all the information is wiped from the clipboard when a banking session ends.

Restart reminder added.
A reminder is shown if your computer needs to be restarted; for example, after real-time or scheduled scanning has removed a harmful system infection.

Improved statistics
The product main page now shows a statistics counter for various security actions, such as files scanned and website reputations checked.

Other general improvements
  • The Time limits feature has been renamed to Device use limits; the functionality of the feature remains unchanged.
  • Croatian language support has been added.
  • Some user interfaces have been re-implemented using Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2. If you do not have Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2 installed, it will be automatically installed during installation/upgrade.
Overall scanning engine improvements
  • The engine uses the browser's "mark-of-the-web" to decide if a file should be analyzed in the Security Cloud. This improves the detection of potentially unwanted applications.
  • Performance improvements to scanning when you install applications.
  • Improved website reputation look-ups from the Security Cloud for Browsing Protection.
  • Improved reliability for engine updates.

Information 
Quote:The latest stable version for F-Secure on PC have been updated to 17.8. The update should happen automatic. Update information also found in the local UpgradeMessages folder.

Version 17.8 Released June/2020

Completely redesigned Browsing and Banking protection
  • Secure Browsing, also known as Browsing Protection, has been completely reworked.
  • Block pages for Browsing Protection, Content Filtering, and Daily Time Limit have a new visual look.
  • The new Banking Protection engine requires the "Browsing Protection by F-Secure" browser extension to be installed and turned on in a supported browser to activate a banking session.
  • The "Browser extension not in use" notification is shown when a supported browser is launched and the browser extension is not installed or turned on. Dismissing the notification silences the notification for that browser.
  • The browser extension installation can be started by selecting "Set up" in the notification or in the main user interface.
  • Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) browser is now supported along with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Internet Explorer.
Visualization and accessibility updates to virus scanning
  • Better support for various display scaling settings and multi-display setups, while retaining the functionality and look-and-feel of the previous Virus Scan.
  • The Narrator app can be used to read elements on the screen and Virus Scan can be controlled by keyboard, touch, and mouse.
  • You can run multiple manual scanning tasks at the same time (except for multiple parallel scans in the "system scan" phase).
  • Memory scan is now visualized during the scan.
Visualization and accessibility updates to App and file control
  • Better support for various display scaling settings and multi-display setups.
  • The Narrator app can be used to read elements on the screen and App and file control can be controlled by keyboard, touch, and mouse.
Supports Microsoft Antimalware Scan Interface to block harmful scripts
  • Added support for the Microsoft Antimalware Scan Interface standard, which allows other applications to use the scanning engines to scan their data for harmful scripts and macros and stop them before they can do any harm.
  • Available on Windows 10.
Other improvements
  • Product updates no longer shut down the security core. During a product update, Windows should no longer warn that the security product is turned off.
  • Product updates and security core updates can no longer happen at the same time. Previously these resulted in a security core update failure and a retry in the next update.
  • Flyer notifications on Windows 7 and 8 have a new visual look.
Other scanning engine improvements since last release
  • DeepGuard can now trigger Security Cloud analysis on files that are associated with the processes, which are launched by commonly-abused legitimate applications and network-facing applications. This complements the Security Cloud analysis trigger on files with a web download marker. It also augments our behavior monitoring capability with the latest cloud information.
  • File and URL reputation queries are done on a new Security Cloud service.
  • Performance improvements for real-time scanning. "
