F-Secure Internet Security 2010 - Better in every way

Automatic upgrade to F-Secure Internet Security 2010 starts mid-September

We always want our customers to have the best possible protection. That's why you now have the chance to upgrade to F-Secure Internet Security 2010 - completely free! The new version is better in every way, offering superior protection, enhanced performance and an outstanding user experience. Best of all, upgrading has never been this easy. So upgrade now and give your computer better, faster protection.

If you are an existing customer with a valid F-Secure Internet Security or F-Secure Anti-Virus license, the 2010 version will be upgraded onto your PC automatically. This does not affect your subscription period. As soon as the new update is available, the installation package (~70 MB) will be downloaded silently in the background. You will see the software update dialog on your screen and you can choose whether to install it immediately or postpone it to a later time.

Note: Depending on your PC and the bandwidth you are using, the installation may take from 15 to 30 minutes. You do not need your subscription key for the installation.

Note: If you have subscribed to a security service from your Internet operator, your operator will send you instructions for downloading the required software.
