Based in Finland, F-Secure is one of a handful of antivirus firms, along with Eset and Bitdefender, that is based in the EU.
F-Secure uses a combination of malware detection engines, including its in-house Capricorn engine and Avira’s detection engine, as well as cloud-based analysis for its various scanning and real-time detection operations. It generally does well in tests by AV-Comparatives and AV-Test, and this quarter was no exception: it detected 100% of malicious files in real-time exposure and flat file scan tests by AV-Test, with no false positives, as did many of its rivals.
