F-Secure is a famous Finish antivirus company that is well known for their high detection rates. Unfortunately, the company doesn’t offer much of anything for free. Just try going to the website and looking for a free download. One will be hard pressed to find anything other than a free online scan.
However, we have uncovered from the depths of the internet, F-Secure's attempt at a free antivirus program. The software called F-Secure Easy Clean is an easy to use antivirus and continues F-Secure’s innovation in the area of user usability. The program comes in a small executable at only 5 megabytes in size but, packs a big punch. F-Secure Easy Cleaner scans for Viruses, worms, rootkits, spyware, Trojans, and many other malware traces. The software utilizes the F-Secure command line scanner and uses about 40 megabytes of RAM during a virus scan. Also, the scanner used minimal CPU power (almost negligible) which is the least I have seen in comparable free antivirus. The scanner appears to use a memory scan in that subsequent scans got faster and faster.
And not to forget the best selling point of the software, the ease of use. F-Secure Easy Clean really provided the most hassle free virus scanning I have seen yet. All one needs to do is accept the terms of conditions and then click the large start button. Then a light the size of an apple turns orange the scanner starts. It’s literally so easy my grandma could do it. And that’s the point! So many users are novice and just don’t know how to run a virus scan. This is why F-Secure Easy Clean free antivirus was invented; to satisfy this underserved niche. So, if someone you know has a slow computer send them the F-Secure Easy Clean Free antivirus. The user and the helper will be satisfied that they did.
