Easy to use, all-in-one security to protect all your devices.

The ban issued on Kaspersky software by the United States in June 2024 poses a direct impact on current Kaspersky users in the US. Here’s what you need to consider if you are using Kaspersky software:

• Updates and support: With the US ban in place, there is uncertainty about the continuation of updates and support for Kaspersky products in the US. While the company might continue to provide updates globally, there could be restrictions or disruptions for US users. This could potentially leave your system vulnerable to new threats if updates cease, posing risks to customer data. 

• Critical infrastructure: The use of Kaspersky software in US critical infrastructure highlights potential risks of data theft, espionage, and system malfunctions. In this instance, transitioning to new vendors is crucial to limit exposure of sensitive data and protect critical infrastructure from potential cyber security threats. 

• Compliance issues: Businesses and federal contractors might face compliance issues if they continue using Kaspersky products. The ban implies that using Kaspersky could be against the law for entities operating under federal contracts or dealing with sensitive information related to national security, including sensitive data. 

• Performance concerns: Although the performance of Kaspersky software isn’t in question, any disruptions in updates or support services could lead to reduced effectiveness over time. Staying updated is crucial for any cyber security tool to defend against evolving threats. 

The ban issued on Kaspersky software by the United States in June 2024 has forced many to reconsider their cyber security choices, seeking alternative providers.

Internet security refers to how you and your devices are protected on the internet. Staying safe against today’s advanced online threats without proper internet protection is nearly impossible. That is why you need F‑Secure Total as your comprehensive internet security suite for keeping you safe. To cover your online security from all directions, make sure to use all advanced security features, including anti­virus soft­ware, malware protection, private browsing, pass­word management and dark web monitoring.

Every individual is an appealing target for today’s cyber criminals. Without comprehensive internet protection all your devices, money and even your identity are in danger. Complete your defenses against advanced online threats with F‑Secure Total and its anti­virus, VPN and identity protection tools.

One aspect of comprehensive online protection is anti­virus soft­ware that detects, removes and prevents viruses, malware and other cyber threats from infecting your device. With F‑Secure Total’s advanced anti­virus, you can easily stop and get rid of viruses before they can cause any damage on your device. Anti­virus soft­ware is a vital component of comprehensive internet protection and should be included as a part of every internet user’s cyber security arsenal. Using a free anti­virus can be risky and put your devices at risk.

Protection against computer viruses and other malware is not enough. You will also need advanced tools for managing your online identity. F‑Secure Total helps you stay informed about your personal online information. If your data, such as financial information or email address, is included in a data breach, Total alerts you. Thanks to Total’s dark web monitoring, you will be informed if your valuable information is in danger. Mean­while, Total’s pass­word manager stores all your pass­words in one place behind a master pass­word and helps you avoid identity theft. Signing in to your accounts is also much easier when using a pass­word manager.

F‑Secure Total provides comprehensive protection on all your devices, including mobile. You can install Total on both iOS and Android mobile devices as well as Windows computers and Macs.

Another way of protecting your online identity and internet security is using strong pass­words. This means every pass­word you use is long enough and contains letters, numbers and special characters. To prevent your accounts and sensitive data from getting into the wrong hands, do not use the same pass­word in more than one place. To further improve your internet security, make sure to use two-factor authentication when­ever logging in.

Use Total to protect your computer with the desktop application. Create your My F‑Secure profile, subscribe to the service and down­load the application to get started. For iOS and Android devices, you can down­load the product from your device’s app store, such as Google Play and Apple App Store.

When getting your F‑Secure Total subscription, you can choose to protect more than just one device with a single subscription. This makes managing your subscription and protected devices easy. Log in to My F‑Secure to see which devices Total is protecting. Choose more devices to your subscription and protect your whole family with F‑Secure Total. You can choose from a single device and up to 25 devices.
