S

implicity is the name of the
game when it comes to
F-Secure Safe. This antivirus
suite provides a lot of
protection, but that’s about all it offers. You
won’t find any extras such as encrypted
online storage, secure file erase, or a VPN,
though F-Secure does have its own VPN
called Freedome (go.macworld.com/fdom)

that can be purchase separately.

A lack of extras is not necessarily a bad

thing. Many security suites get overloaded

with tools that few people use, but a few

well-chosen extras such as those

mentioned above would’ve been a nice

addition. Still, there’s no denying that

F-Secure’s protection level is very high.

Let’s dive into the details of this suite.
